well a few days ago i wasnt thinking and my back wheel caught the edge of a curb and got some damage done to it. i was really pissed because out of the 2-3 years ive had my wheels that was the first time i had done that. well anyways long story short, since i scrathed the shit out of one i figured it would be a good chance to get the one repaired and polished and then polish the lips on all the others to match...man wat a diffence the polished lip made. it made the wheel look like a whole different wheel. i mean they were polished up a bit before, but never like straight up mirror blingin polished. i must say i love them now. anywyas enough blabing here is the pics...

here it is scrathed and before teh lip was polished

here it is fixed and polished. all other 3 looks same too

so much ice you could skate on it haha

i wish i could polish like that. i took it to this guy right down the street from me who builds turbo cars to run 10s. he does all kinds of awesome welds that look like a machine did it and he also does badass polish work. but yeh he told me he first has to weld on to where the scratches were. then he sands it down with a machine sand. then sands again with like 5 different sand papers by hand. then he sands again with wd40 and then sands again with some other liquid and then polishes it up and it comes out lookin like straight up mirror. he is baller at what he does and reall fast haha i dropped the wheels off like an hour before he closed and he had them done the next day by noon. just got the tires put back on today too so ill try toget some pics eventualy. and yes i know i always say that but never get a chance to haha but i will this time

I had mine redone a few months ago also. Cost me about $210 for all four and they turned out really nice. He did the center gunmetal spokes and everything.
