New shoes on the E28 (ACS content)

[Hybridbmw]

I picked up a set of ACS type II split's from a buddy of mine that needed a restoration. Fortunately the center's were in good shape, but the lips had some heavy rash and the barrels needed work. I actually ended up with 6 wheels total and used the barrel's from the parts wheels as they weren't bent or cracked. I'll let the pics do the talking.

Wheel's all disassembled.



I cleaned up the rash on the lips with a file and emory cloth. I then stripped the clear off with aircraft stripper and wet sanded the lip's with 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit. I then his the lip's with a powerball and some polish i picked up from a truck stop from my home town. Here is a pick of a half polished lip.



The barrel's were pretty beat up paint wise. I cleaned them up as much as possible and hit them with some paint. They turned out pretty nice.



The hardware was pretty filthy. Spent a hour cleaning them up.



A nice shot of the lip. I'm really impressed with that polish!



After a week and a half I was ready to reassemble them. My wife and I had a bunch of show's to watch so I decided to do the reassembly inside. Took about 3hrs to do all 4 wheel's.



And the finished product!



This was my first attempt and re finishing wheel's. It was a lot of work, but I really enjoyed it!

So yesterday I woke up really early and went down to the shop. I installed my tires that were on my style 5's on the ACS's and put them on the car. I also rolled the front and rear fender's a bit more for clearance of the new wheel's. I still have some work to do on the left rear.

Test fit


All wheel's installed in the shop. I also threw on some chrome kidney's.


After I was done at the shop I picked up my wife and we went down to the Black Forest Industries octoberfest car meet. had some fun there for about 2 hours and left to go to the state fair with her cousin and family. On our way to her cousin's house I found this really cool alley and did a quick iphone photoshoot, lol.









That is all for now. Hoping to do a proper photoshoot soon!

Ok cool thanks bro.

looks rad. needs more low.

[Hybridbmw]

Thanks. I couldn't imagine it going any lower. It's boosted and my DD. I think the ride height is great where it sits.

oh ohkay. Turbo m30s are way cooler then having a car that's super low.

Also they sound better than any engine ever. The best.
