thanx guys and jsut to let u know it was the first thing he saw when he went outside lol he was so happy he said he tried everything to get them looking good again and was amazed by it lol. the rims and tries were nice and shiny and the rest was dirty only because it started to rain out so i didnt bother. i also put a coat of wax on it so hopefuly it will stay looking new for a wile.
thanx thank you zach and Maurice for the help :)

I actually have the same rims, bought them off a friend of mine. I use mothers mag and alum and a pnematic polishing wheel, most annoying sound, but it works. when I first got them they were nasty, worse than those, polished them up, looked good, until I got them in the mud, now I have to do it again, haha. thats how I clean my tool box tool, except with out the polishing wheel. I use one of the big angle grinders with the polishing disk on it, gets the box brand new.
