Thinking about painting it 939 Italian Olive...

As for the ssr longchamp xr4 wheel hardware, I just removed the old hardware, took it to a local hardware store and matched the threads and specs. The bolts and nuts that were in the wheels are M8x1.25x32. I found that wheelflip.com sells replacement hardware in these specs so I ordered 32 nuts and bolts I also found that the valve stem holes are not the standard .450 valve holes. They are .40 so now I have to source some replacements that will fit. If anyone knows of where to get those valve stems let me know.

Wet sanded all of the curb rash off of the lip edges. It took a while but seriously, you cant even tell that there was ever rash there.

Its hard to get a good focus on the camera... but its quite un-noticable that any material was removed. I'm really proud of the results.

So we finally had a day with above freezing temps so I did a little work on the longchamps. I gooped some cheap stripper on to get the paint off of the spokes and back of face. I'll probably have to apply it one or two more times to get it all.

Then after I scrubbed and sprayed the shit off, I wet sanded one of the wheels for about a half hour with 400 grit to get some of the big blemishes and oxidized areas. Already it's looking better than the other wheels

[HAM8URGER]

A few more wet sands with finer grits and this will polish to a mirror finish
