Hi all.
Just a quick one from my end.
Most will know that i have wanted a set of 1m wheels for my car for years, the stars have aligned for me.
A fellow Member hooked me up on a used set of 18 reps, they need some work to get them back to 100% and they all need new rubber.
Below is the start of the resto process.
1. the night i brought them home, gave them a quick hose down.
2. I fitted one side just to get a feel for the off sets, then i went to Tiger wheel to pull the old rubber off. None of them held air very well.
3. Came home and sprayed them down with Sonax wheel cleaner, i believe Dragons Breath works better...
4. The results after the Sonax and some elbow grease.
Next up ill send them in for refurb as one rear has a dent on the inner lip, and they might as well respray them.
I also need center caps as the OEM ones dont fit so that going be a fun experience.
Then ill get the new rubber sorted, im modding on a budget :roflol:
To be continued...
