Polished slots..I like! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyD · 06-13-2006, 06:17 PM

Just got my slots back from the polisher..I really like the appearance. Thought I would throw a pic or 2 on here and see if you guys like the look as well, or if you prefer them unpolished?

rauto13 · 06-13-2006, 06:26 PM

I like them polished, looks sharp.

Oldtruckfanatic · 06-13-2006, 06:28 PM

Looks good I like em polished lets see em on the truck now.

**special-K** · 06-13-2006, 07:41 PM

They came out nice.How much did that run?I have some I brought back myself.Good enough`til the truck is restored.Then,I`d like to do what you did.

Slammed66 · 06-13-2006, 08:20 PM

Get em mounted!!!!!!!!!!

HeavyD · 06-13-2006, 09:19 PM

I had them done at Kelvin's tire & wheel in Saskatoon. Cost me $320 to do, but I am happy with the way they came out. As far as keeping them looking good, will have to hope that powerball I bought a while ago will do the job.

**N2TRUX** · 06-13-2006, 09:37 PM

I like em polished! Good luck keeping them that way...

Longhorn Man · 06-13-2006, 09:57 PM

Shiney is way better.

jrb71c20 · 06-13-2006, 09:59 PM

I'd love to have a set a those omy c20 one day, my favorites..definately the polished...looks awsome

**Canadian694x4** · 06-14-2006, 01:32 AM

They look great, can't wait to see 'em mounted on your Truck.

**special-K** · 06-14-2006, 05:46 AM

I`ve heard mounting rubber around the rim insulates the aluminum from dulling contaminants.

gator2511 · 06-14-2006, 07:12 AM

No wheel looks better on our trucks than the polished aluminum. Looks great! You will love that powerball.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-14-2006, 01:08 PM

Damn those look good......

cheyenne10 · 08-16-2006, 03:38 PM

Any shots of K10/4x4s with these wheels? Especially shortbeds?

chevyboy55 · 08-16-2006, 04:19 PM

Anything looks good polished!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-16-2006, 04:23 PM

Very Nice

HeavyD · 08-16-2006, 04:56 PM

Here are a couple shots of a very nice K10 with slots..I think this is a board members truck.

**Joesjunk** · 08-16-2006, 05:01 PM

VERY nice! I have a set on my 71 K10. I had them polished about 13 years ago. They still look good, but it sits inside and gets no weather.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 08-16-2006, 05:40 PM

looks awesome i have the same wheels on my truck nice to know what they would look like if they were polished

bryanw1968 · 08-16-2006, 06:04 PM

Those looks great!!
Use Mother Billet metal polish to keep em' lookin' good.
I swear by the stuff.

ChevyCrazy67 · 08-16-2006, 09:04 PM

I like em, keep the dogs away from them.
