Today I showed the kid how to refinish the wheel. I got these wheels as a payoff for money owed to me back in the day. I never really paid attention to it since back then I was running mini lites 13x8s But until recently I tried to buy a set of tires for it. Well try and fine 215/50/13 the only ones I found were slicks. And so dam expensive. So with that comes the Enkei 15x7 rims. Its a lot easier to find tires for it. But it wasn't exactly in a nice condition. So we decided to refinish it andbringitback to its glory.
First order of business. Get the ugly white paint off the rims. We used Aircraft paint stripper and power washed it off.
Afterwards we sanded the rims and started polishing the lip.
Once we were satisfied on how polished the lip was. We then taped it of and painted the center gold.
Finished product. Now time to wrap the rims with yokohama 195/50/15
How they look on the car. Now if we can only do something about that paint and bumpers. Stay tuned...
