how are you going to clean the nut and bolts? Is there a special technique?

The 12pt nuts that are visible from the front come pretty much perfectly clean with P21S wheel cleaner.

I feel the hoop cleaning pain. I think I'm ordering some Adam's and some P21S myself.

Haha, actually I'm married with a 2 year old, I work 10 hour days and this car is fixing to have either a pretty hard core s/cer setup or a crazy all motor build. I'm not a gamer though, so maybe that's where I'm picking up the time.

Flite I hope you like this idea. You like the black color and you want a little pop to your wheels right.

Keep them gloss black but with a little machined or polished outline like so:



OR

Go flat black with the same idea here:



I hope this gives you some inspiration to finish some really good wheels!

I actually really like that, but I think that's a little more in depth than I want to go right now. Plus, I'm not too keen on machining metal off my not-so-cheap wheels. It looks good, but I'd only do that if it was something I could do through HRE directly.
