    Seen it done on TV once. Guy grinded, with grinding paste, the wheel back and polished it to the mirror type finish. once it had it to the finished he wanted, he sprayed the wheel wth lacquer to protect it. Turned out quite well, but it does take a good bit of time and elbow grease.

    If you can find the "Wheeler Dealer" programme where the worked on the red MR2, this was the one. He also had to paint the "tear-drop" holes on the alloy.
