Default My first attempt at wheel restoration: Cragar G/T

When I bought my 1967 Mustang fastback... these were on it. Extremely oxidized as you can see. I wanted to put them back on this year so I drug them out of storage. I wanted to get them restored... but why not do it yourself? I would like to get a better shine out of the outer lip. Any suggestions? I used a buffing wheel and mothers wheel polish after I cleaned up the oxidation. I am also looking for a nice set of center caps (I have a wanted ad up). I cleaned up the set that I have but they need a rechrome. This single wheel took me about 4 hours total from start to finish. What do you think?
