Now that I have your attention, I bought some stock 20s and long story short they where painted silver. Went to strip hoping they where still machined underneath. Well someone took a wire wheel and used that to scuff them.. (idiot).

I'm going to clean them up and paint them. What is the closest paint/paint code to give the oem machine look. I understand it won't have the texture look. Jusy want closest to oem as possible. I was thinking a medium metallic silver? Thanks!!

Mine vs normal

I would get them sand blasted and powder coated... They have silver and chrome shinny finishes.. Should cost about $300-400 for all four. I'm gettin some 20s powder coated black right now. I'll post pics in like a week when I get them back

Was trying to stay away from powder coating just because i dont have the extra $$ to get someone to do it. I ran across ultra silver metallic #wa8867 that looks pretty close

Have them repainted at a body shop, or Plastidip them, I did that to the same style wheel you have before I ended up selling them to my friend.

Or you could restore them and throw a clear coat on them

They are really bad. Wire wheel marks everywhere. Almost looks like a grinder hit it

I'v e polished out way worse. And those are probably the easiest to polish. Use finer and finer grit and then a good metal polish, work hard and they will look like chrome

Here's the first video that popped up. I'm sure there are better step by step videos but watch some then take a stab at it. You have the world at your finger tips. Google
