'94 turbobrick with some wheels

[thefuzz]

Thanks for the words guys!

Your wheels are genuine 5x108 for sure. I know a set on Alfa Romeo 166 as well.

You would probably upgrade the looks on the wheels if You fit custom step lips instead of flat lips.

That's internesting, didn't know Alfas 166 had 5/108! Maybe some Alfa enthuisast got the caps then!
I've been looking into getting the centers milled out a little around the boltpattern. Smooth things out to make em look like they came without caps.
But I'd rather try and find the caps insted of "upgrading" the look on the wheel.
From what I understand, Image will be supplying me with flatlips. I like flatlips.

Also, I contaced Memoryfab in hope they'd seen/heard anything about the centercaps for these. Turns out they hadn't even seen a set of these wheels, ever. Yay.
Atleast they are rare

Anyway.
Got my tyres today, 195/40 front and 235/40 back.
And I've started the first process on front lips.

my hand hurts, and I need something better than my current polish

I would say those need sanding before you polish. When you get to the final step. I strongly suggest this if you can get it in Sweden:

Did the full lip with 400, then I took some 1200 on a small spot and after some polish I found in the storage. So the entire lip isn't polished, just small spot
I have to smooth out the chips from curbs the past owners have hit. Then I will do 800->1200 wet on the entire lip I think

Thanks for the tip though, I will look into that.

The weather is AMAZING today, and its friday.. AND I got my lips today!
Now, I just need to drill all the holes for them.

Image requiered the centers inorder to make the holes, though they where in for paint when I made the order, I decieded to drill them myself.

They are slightly different from my original lips, but I think they still look really amazing, can't wait to have the wheels done!

[thefuzz]

I'm in the garage right now, updating from the phone. Post might look wierd.

Fixing my oilreturn-line and I'm about to drill my lips. Heres a sneak-peak on whats to come!

The 1.5" lips are not polished yet.

It's all coming together now.
I've soon got two wheels sealed now, still got some polishing to do on the front-lips.

And I've ordered some Work RSR Extended Lug Nuts in Gun Metal.
I feel that using my chromed ones from the local auto-shop aren't really cutting for these wheels!
I hope to have them by the end of this week or sometime the next.

I'm having my tyres mounted tomorrow, then I can see if I need to roll my fenders any - which I am almost certain that I have.. I'm really stoked to see this coming together.

The front lips did not come out with the result I was aiming for.... They where very damaged from curbs by the previous owner, I did my best to make the clean again.
But I still have two lips, that I will be sending away to fix all the damages and I will polish to the point I am happy with.

The plan was to fit the wheels today, but it's been snowing most of the day.
However, the wheels are finally fully ready.

I should have chosen 225/40 insted of 235/40 for the rears, but I think they came out really good.

[coconutt]

Yes.

[jeffaz]

those wheels are amazing

[thefuzz]

Yes.

those wheels are amazing

Thanks guys! This keeps me motivated!
Tomorrow has promised nice weather (atleast not snowing)
So I will take this opportunity to fit my wheels!
I hope I dont need roll fenders.. Butbut.

On another note, Ive finally got the fuel sorted. Now it moves really good, for being an old Volvo!

Keep an eye out, there will be pictures!
