I just picked up a set of second gen alloys. I like the look of them a lot and my truck wouldn't look right with a set of blingy rims.
I'm thinking I want them less polished. Just more of a satin finish than the high gloss they have.
Anyone ever done anything like this before? I'm planning on just taking sandpaper to them and wet sanding them, and then prob using steel wool/scotch brite pads to make sure it's even and devoid of big obvious swirl marks.
I'm not so much going for a specific look, as just not so shiny.
