Gotti C55 17"x11" build

[herrakani]

Got these Gotti's from another member.Took them apart and ordered a pair of 4" outer lips from Felgen-Garage in Germany to make the rears 17x11. Just thought you liked to see, will post more pictures when progressing. Debating on wether to powdercoat or paint. The lips will take 3-4 weeks to deliver.

Nice. Cant wait to see the finished product.

[Zic]

This is gonna be sick, are you redoing the front bigger?
And powdercoat since paint is easyer to chip.

[herrakani]

Fronts have bigger lips already, I'll just rebuild and paint them. I'll post pictures when I get tyres off them.

[herrakani]

These arrived today. Now to follow some sanding and primering and painting.

[oloniccolo]

Well shit. Whatre these going on

[projektzwo]

awsome, can't wait to see them finished...

i have one question, do you know how much do you have to torque the screws after assembling the wheels? and if you know - is this information equivalent to all other Gotti multipiece wheels?

I haven't the slightest idea, but I reckon it depends on the bolt manufacturer's specifications. I'll buy shiny new black bolts from this german retailer and hope he supplys me with a spec sheet. Or I'll use bbs's specs. Or I'll just ask one of my know-it-all-wise-ass-friends.

///EDIT:
Oh yeah. These are going to my e32 730 or to my '80 Malibu, depending on which seems cooler with it.

[herrakani]

First couple layers of primer.

[Zic]

you gonna paint the lips? NOOOOOOOO!! let them shine.

[rowdydaoudy]

looks rad!
mind if i ask how much the lips were? im wanting to get some new ones for my OZ fronts

[herrakani]

Hell yeah I'm painting the lips.

I think they were 200 euro's a piece plus postage fees. They had to custom drill the Gotti pattern to a blank lip, b/c there's only aftermarket bits for BBS and OZ's etc.

[Byron]

You primed the wrong part!

[FABEL]

^ this. agreed. at least at the moment . . .

[herrakani]

No prob, I know 95% of you will not like these when done but I'm still doing it.
