i got some fat fives with decent rubber for 250 bucks. a couple could use a fixxing, they have some minor curb marks. any ideas on how to restore these?

werd. i need to know too.

eg6sir · 07-16-2008, 06:01 PM

fully polish the face and paint the inside black

eg6sir · 07-16-2008, 06:03 PM

basically do what i did to these but to the entire face of the wheel.. good thing about the flat surface is you can use a palm sander until you need to start wet sanding

polish and spray paint wont fix the curb marks or pitted spots.

eg6sir · 07-16-2008, 06:05 PM

if you get them a little love it will.. check the link i posted.. see what i did with that curbage..

ya thats about the shape mine are in, only a couple small curb marks though. i use mothers on them daily, but havnt painted the inside black. my dipshit friend used some super uber chemical on them and the clear coat is shot...around here 250 is a good deal even if they are in ruff shape. i plan on keeping these rims as long as possible and was thinking along the lines of a shop that fixed the rim itself. lemme know.

eg6sir · 07-16-2008, 06:12 PM

sufikation · 07-16-2008, 06:16 PM
