    Hey Roy, just wondering, how much do you charge to do a rim? Or do you charge per set? Like how you come up with charging someone?

    @mvmracing If I were to do this for someone I would probably do it for a little of nothing honestly lol Somehow I enjoy doing it 😎 If they're on the car or they wanted them polished also then we would have to discuss a price. And that depends on how bad they are to start

I also looked at your video about your GMC work truck. Man you have great imagination & unique ideas/style. My S10 is my work truck and daily driver. I am going to begin fixing the interior up a bit & you have inspired me.!! One more thing. There is a gamer on yt with ur same name & his stuff dominates when someone tries to find you. You might think of a new name so your channel can grow & people can find you, I subscribed to your channel for your self help videos. We think alike my brother. Sincerely Larry C

    That's why I hate aluminum wheels I buy the one piece not welded rims chrome. I will pay what ever for them to.its hell to keep them polished I have a guy that worked for me in my shop that's all he did was polish wheels and 18. Wheelers. A sat of rims like you doing he would charge 500$ it's a lot of work to get them to look like chrome and keep them like chrome
