Default Polishing Rims

Hey everyone, Quick question how would I go about polishing a set of 17x8 VR Clubsport rims...

Spray em with paint stripper, wait 15mins then go at them with a really fine wire brush on a drill or what???

Cheers
MaT

P.S- Or another idea, 2pac Black... hehehe Muahahaha

2pac Black Vr Clubsport Rims... Ultra Low springs, I got all gloss black window surrounds.... Limo tint...

Cheers
MaT

Dont use a wire brush ect on em. You will put gouges in em and its lots of work to get em out.
Just strip the paint off and then attack em with some autosol, etc.
If you want em really shinny be prepared to loose your finger prints cause it means lots of sanding.

Weird because of the reflection, but if I cover that with my hand it looks pretty good, I reckon go black
