"WICKED" polish on Cepek Aluminum Wheels..

I was looking to get new wheel/tires for my truck. I had a friend that owned a Lariat and he just took off his Cepek DC-1 17's to go back to his stock height (he just bought a F-250..lol!!!)

So I got a chance to get his rims.....for an R/C car...lol!!! I traded him a Tamiya clodbuster for all four...

The rims were in storage and the hex nutz were rusted. After talking to my good friend that works at Maui Off Road Hawaii..he hooked me up with some WICKED POLISH and brand new DC hexes and center caps..

Before:







After some polish and really getting in there...







Brand New DC hexes...stainless steel..



BEFORE:


AFTER:


I still can't believe I got these for my Tamiya Clodbuster..

Just waiting for the center caps and I am going with cepek 285/70/17 tires..

I have never even heard of this brand until I got it from my friend...I like it!!!

I got one more clodbuster in the closet....I want his HD headlights...lol!!!

Cool deal man! Thats how it was when I bought my rockstars used. The rims had some white looking scratches on them, so I took them and pressure washed them and they came right off and look brand new.

Hmmm - that type of response usually indicates that you aren't so smart yourself.......
