Thanks to Autopia.
I bought a set of 18" Ikon rims that had been driven on all winter. I didn't know how damaged they were until I got them home and started working on them.





That's how they looked after washing them and scrubbing them with Eagle 1 rim cleaner.

This is how they now look mounted on my car a week later.





Thanks to those members on here who helped me out.

Re: Thanks to Autopia.
Very sharp, they really set your car off. What did you do to polish them up?

The polished lip was the only damaged part that needed attention. I used a combination of Nevr Dull, Autosol amd my wife's toothbrush. I averaged about 2.5 hours per wheel.
