just get some polishing compound and put some elbow grease into it, which means get to work with those boney arms of yours

Kyle, are the edges already polished and you just want to shine them up or are they powder coated you want to strip and polish that area?

Either way, I would imagine any good wheel repair shop or professional metal polisher would be qualified to do it.

If the lips need to be stripped and polished then it ain't going to be cheap.

You might want to do a search for the recent thread requesting recomendations for wheel repair places.

For me, I would do them myself... I dont trust anyone else on my wheels... They could damage them. Thats just my opinion
