Good job! Try some wheel wax or sealant to help preserve the finish.

Top work , 10 hrs well spent

Btw you can use the dish washer to clean them first , just be careful I did a set of Yamaha crankcases in it a few years ago , luckily wifey was away for a week took about 4 days to get rid of the smell and grit in it , not sure it's been right since , made a wonderful job though

I remember someone on another forum I used to frequent saying he loved it when his wife went away for the weekend, meant he could get the wheels done in the dishwasher..not sure the 20" ones would fit though
