	I presume when you have rims professionally refurbished, with polished rims etc they put them on a large lathe, or are there specific lathes for wheels I would love to be able to do this at home and would be willing to spend a bit on the right kind of (second hand) machine if it wasn't too mahooooosively expensive, and there was scope to make my money back in time. Please enlighten me.......

	I have done it before by sticking 2 wheels on the front of my brothers ibiza and sticking it in gear while still jacked up, 2 people can polish at once but I was thinking of something a bit more hardcore, and faster.
