Rim lip polishing wheel - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #37660 3 posts Started by 97lestyousay
Is there such a thing? I started sanding on my rs5s with a block,
actually a pinewood derby car I made with my son. The rear wheels
held the inner lip and made a perfect grain. Anyway I thought about making
a round plate that fits over the lip. Encaptured by either the outer or inner lip
with abrasive material over the face. The contacted area not wanting to be
polished could have a teflon lining. Is there a demand for this type of work?
This prolly sounds confusing. I'll post some pics. wink.gif

JDM guy made me do it.

Ha ha I had this crazy Idea to build a plate. I scapped the teflon
idea and decided to use rollers to ride on the outside of the rim,
then asked myself "why", I can machine the lip easyer than building
the Frankenstien contraption that I have in my head. It seemed
like a good Idea at the time. kindasad.gif
