You could get a crappy old wheel to practice on but maybe, just maybe if you rub back the rim with wet and dry and then paint a new clear coat on yourself this may do the trick for you.

Or take them to a good panel shop and get them to quote on repairs painting maybe.

My mate DIY'd his dish. He got 1200 wet and dry and sanded it back real good. He then got that chorme/metal cleaner (can't remember it's name) and it looks like new. Much cheaper than getting someone to re-clear them.

It should be hard to do yourself 1200 wet sand then polish presto i think i need to do this on my volk gt-c they starting to look abit dull

This is the problem with not applying a clear coat over the polished surface; alloys oxidise & go dull if you don't seal the surface.

Or you can keep on poishing...

It's been a number of months now and they still looks like new.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
