    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. :2thumbs:

    Very sharp, they really set your car off. What did you do to polish them up? :up
    Hoping the weather gets warmer again

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