sawblades

[supradupra88]

Hey everyone! I have an 1988 supra with the stock sawblade rims. Well they are looking old and i was wondering whats the easiest way to fix them up? Can i paint them or polish them? and what would I use?
Thanks alot!

Sure you can polish them... or paint them... or get them chromed.

Try searching "polished sawblades"

Here's one good thread that the search returned:

yes and yes. It's both been done.

I woud suggest painting them. There are a few companies that make wheel spray paint.

Edit: beat me to it.

Mine are almost like his, but I just wanted to know his last step, I used Mequiars 80 or 85 to buff em shining (by hand) , but his seem to be more mirror-like. Those products can't help me over the big pond
