I refinished my wheels by sanding the crap out of them by hand and also with a circular 3M scotch pad on a drill...

Then painted around 5-7 coats of metallic silver flake paint and put a wheel clear coat on them and they look great, the only bad part is the aluminum lip that was hard to smooth out from corrosion from the wheel weights.

I tried letting them do a static balance (no weights onthe outside of the rim) but 3 of my wheels are bent so it didnt work...

Now I have the weights back on the front but I waxed the wheels up and greased where the weights go.

Good luck.
