hmm im not 100% sure it could be done. The only way they could be smoothed is to sand them down etc and im wondering if that would weaken the wheel ? but im not an expert by any means

 

[Josh220]

if it can be done do it! looks spot on imo

ive used a small air sander before when i refurbed some wheels ages ago on another car, it easily sanded down the soft alloy, i presume these ridges will go the same way, what a task tho Jamie.

i think your just looking for something to do to your car....

Do it! Looks lovely fella, though I've never seen a FF wheel up close to see how the ridge is built into it...

If it works ill send you mine and you can do my old ones lol.

when i took my 15" version off and cleaned them the "ridge" is moulded in. meaning if you sand it right down there will be a hole in it.
You could get some alloy and weld in some then smooth them.
