    Hope you know but I learned the hard way. Aluminum truck rims are only polished on one side so steers are different from drives and trailers.
    Others like my IHC 8 lug fleet truck is not polished on either side. The machine grooves from the lath can be seen front and rear. They can be polished out but it is a lot of work.
     
    Cottonmouth85 Thanks this.
