Yes I did sand the rims. First I used 180 grit, then layed down two coats of epoxy primer. Next I wet sanded with 320 grit, and putdown two coats of primer sealer. Wet sanded again this time with 600 grit, and then 800. I layed four coats wet on wet of base color, and 6 coats of clear. Hope that helps

Yup, one of the wheels had to be sent out to get machined, the other three were in decent shape. I did have to fill a few dents and scratches though. I just used glaze putty and wet sanded them smooth. You have to use the good glaze putty though, not the cheap stuff.
