Wow widening a BN kit, brave man! Not sure how its gonna look though, i think the BN kit makes the 15 look abit bubbly and looses alot of its sharp lines. So maybe when widening it you could add more angles!

They are some gorgeous wheels though. One of my favourites ever and to make a car to fit them is just plain ballsy!

It's pretty simple to do just takes an age to get right and get a good finish, you've got to have a lot of spare time and definitely not try to rush it.

Do you usea cutting compound and drill? Do you also use a wax to seal? Looking at mothers buffing head on ebay. Just not sure on what products to use. Seen California customs stuff on YouTube. Also read about people using oven cleaner to remove grease and other surface dirt.

For a really good result a drill really isn't going to do it. Your better off taking it to polishing company. I use mothers polish to keep up the finish and poor boys wax to keep the finish longer but I still polish them once a week and rewax when the wheels are on the car.

If you do attempt them yourself remember to polish around the lip not back and forth or in circles ect
