I have a friend who just stripped the chrome plating on his wheels and now all it is, is bare/unpolished aluminum. They are perfectly smooth, so all that is needed now is to bring the shine back out. the design is very simple so it will be 'easy' to do, given iI know the best method. Are the power balls you buy at the parts store sufficient to do this?
 
Sure it's alloy and not steel? 


 


I would suggest a 2 step approach for cutting & polishing. 



HD Metal should work, just need to figure out what pad will do it best. 
 
Yes is is alloy. I understand you push HD stuff a ton and I'm sure it's great, but can you recommend anything else that's readily available at parts stores?
 
Mothers might get you there? I have a feeling that you're gonna need to get aggressive at 1st to break into that shine so I would also invest in a wool polishing ball if you can find one. 
 
goto home depot and buy metal buffing wheels that you can use with your drill, then buy an aluminum polish, thats how i refinish aluminum bbs wheels all the time good luck.
