Gaz Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I demand a DIY guide! Back to the wheel refurb, how did you actually do it? Did you have to get rid of any kerb marks? Everytime I see someone refurb a rim I really wanna have a go myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I've got some pics of the wheels pre-refurb when I had them, I'll post them in a sec I drove the car around with these massive tyres on for a few minutes and the ride was so much smoother, I drove over a kerb with them and barely felt a thing Edited May 23, 2012 by Wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 OK so they weren't too bad, you've done a brilliant job there though Jay Got a guide on how you did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 yeah Gaz bit of a fail there with the valve but you can always scrub it off later & i didn't wanna miss any behnid the valve due to the angle of how i was spraying it etc. used playing cards to mask off the tyre which works a treat Not a brill job close up but on the car when your stood looking @ them they look pretty sweet, as Wash pointed out they weren't kerbed to fcuk or flaking before so was just a quick key & spray to get them a nice light silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
