Got all the wheels...and unpacked them all...lined them up...and inspected them all...granted..they are all used wheels...but no damage from the shipping...and out of all 40 of them...one has a slight bend...but..it going on the civic for my car...not for sale.
I grabbed the ugliest, dirtiest, and curb rashed rim in the lot...and sat down and wet sanded it for an hour...the damn thing looks brand new....with only 400 grit papper...when I hit it with 600, 800, 100, 1200,1500, and then to 200...and polish it out...it will be a mirror...hehe...
all in all...this looks like a good buy...I get some rims for the car...and the wife will sell the rest and we can hopefully have enough money from the profits to put new shingals on the house...and iff this little venture proves to be profitable to the wife...then she will buy more and more...and I'll do more cleaning and selling...
Ohh...I counted up all the rims I have, ones that are on other people's cars, in their garages and on the cars at the house , and the ones sat aside for spares.....and these ones....a grand total of 73
now for the wheel whores proud moment....The pic's..
can you tell which one was the crappiest rim?
And when I bought it...it looked like this in the pictures from Yahoo Japan Auctions...
Huge difference....
A crap load more of pics...
