Oh those futuras noice

I split the wheels.... Oh my this is such a nice job when the bolts and nuts have quite a lot threadlock on them...

[fackinsteve]

I want to see these done so bad!

[DUTCHswift]

In for... reasons.

I also look forward to the outcome very much... I took faces and center cups to the painting shop on Friday, the color remains the same. Btw, does anyone know can I buy those stickers wich come to center cup, anywhere? Or do I ask for help from a local sticker company?

There's a guy in the UK, on Instagram, that makes custom license plates, center caps, badges, etc, I'll see if I can find his page for you.

Thanks.. Just ordered new 7,25x18 inner barrerls to the rear. Still wondering should I buy new nuts and bolts, or clean the current ones... And I heard from the paint shop that the faces are ready on Thursday.

vinegar or something to soak them should work and then polish but honestly 8/10 people you ask will tell you just to bite the bullet and buy new

[-TMK-]

Yeah, it would be much easier to buy new nuts and bolts.., but I'd like to keep the originals... I am in two minds because one of the original bolts broke when I split the wheels, and I can't find those genuine OZ bolts anywhere...

[Quillhill36]

playing devils advocate, you'll probably never find one bolt. I know a whole set is $$$$$ but theres a reason. No one in their right mind polishes bolts more than once. You could get them sandblasted and rechromed but no idea what the cost on that is. plus you're still down a bolt.

You're absolutely right. When I think about it more closely, I'm doing pretty much unnecessary work trying to find that one bolt... Gonna order new nuts and bolts.

I know it sucks, and I'm all for refinishing things rather than buying new but bolts are a pita. Don't throw them out though, you may snap a new one or something and end up needing spares.

Little update... I assembled the front wheels... Maybe not a master's trace, but good for me.





Still waiting for the rear wheel inner rims...

New winter setup...
