Morning all
Is there a finish on the wheels that gives the satin or polished finish I expected it to be either polished or non polished alloy but it appears to have been broken through in places   |

I used a 200 grit sanding pad on a 3" airsander to remove the anodising and the scuff marks etc... then went upto 600 then 1000 then 2000 then polished with a mopping pad and autosol metal polish
I had to planish the centre cap to get it reasonably flat first as it was pretty beat up ten sanded it flat before polishing |

I stock the polished and the anodized. Polishing and making look good take a lot of time. That and dis-similar metals will continue to corrode the OEM caps making them hard to remove https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/s...h/?q=center+cap Make sure to look at the set of 4 as it's cheaper than individuals Attached thumbnail(s)
