I believe those wheels are made from melted coke cans. polish them with a grinder

its a huge pain I have heard.....you could throw some mothers polish on there but I'm assuming you're looking for that mirror finish like on high end wheels?

the probably have a clear coat. if so you'll have to sand that off before you can polish metal. its cheaper just to buy new wheels, seriously unless you love them THAT much you'll spend HOURS per wheel. I have about 40+ hours into a set of vintage mugen wheels
