There was a how to on this board but the pics are down. I have the original page saved on one of my hard drives in anticipation of need. Here's the link in the meanwhile.

It looks easy in the demo. I did this to my two rear 162 OEM wheels. I finished the project, but it just didn't turn out to be OEM like finish. I ended up taking my wheels to be professionally finished.
