My Rims have a few scratches on them and im considering getting them polished. Ive been recommend to go to Wheelgleem whom charge $150 per rim polished and all scratches removed.
Sorry ive got the 17' Tickford rims. Any other options?

Not sure Im over with the rest of the country ;)
From what I could gather except $150-$250 a rim to get them sorted out.. There is only 1 place in ACT that does it hence the price... Though in Sydney/Melb I guess there is a bit more competition.. Jump in the tyre tech forums and get some advice from Turbo Nick..

i got mine done by wheelgleam, but didnt pay anywhere near what you were quoted.. polished rims are a real pain to keep clean and stain free, so if you do get it done think about getting them clear coated while your at it. i believe they offer that service as well.

You might want to check around a few Ford dealers.. I picked up a complete set for $760 of AUII 17" Tickford rims (same as AUIII) as they were clearing them out down here in Melbourne - great to keep as a spare for shows, etc.

or try Bagby Metal polishers mate, they did 4 4wd rims for me and it was only about $220 total, and they were big f-off 15x10 deep dish wheels as well
