My Kinesis K18 wheel rebuild

[gen2_4door]

I've really been thinking about the flat black faces with gloss bronze lips. Probably have gloss black bolts instead of the polished bolts. Not sure yet tho

2nd pic looks awesome. and maybe if you did the lips the same as the 4th pic and the centers black that could be good too. if you don't want something plain id generally stay away from those colours. or you could do glow in the dark!

jus saying

where would you get that^ done?

First two are the best. Gloss black barrels/flat black lips with gold or silver hardware looks nuts.

Well guys I'm stuck on a final decision for the color on the wheels. I don't want something plain like the original finished silver. Here's a couple different ideas I've been tinkering around with...

You'll probably need a new lip on that one, looks pretty bad.

Where do you find such a deal man! lol I have been searching high and low on CL

Doing great work so far!

[gen2_4door]

Well I'm about 80% successful in repairing the curb marks except for the one lip with the 2 deep rashes. I'm afraid I will have to have them either filled with god knows what or just buy a new lip. Any suggestions for this lip?

Stoked to see them finished!

I love these wheels. Nice find !

[gen2_4door]

Well made a little bit of progress on the wheels today. Started on my attempt to repair the curb damage and hand polishing the lips. TONS of work, but so far so good.

How does someone curb a wheel with 255/55 tires? Curbs aren't that tall.

Nice find though

Haha thats what I thought, but they were on his wife's MDX in that picture so there's no telling. Luckily the most of the curb rash is minimal except for the one wheel pictured that has 2 noticible curb checks.

And I do still fell very lucky on the find, but now I dont wanna have to buy all new lips for them. Gonna try to grind down the curbs and polish the lips myself and see how they look. Fingers crossed....

150/220 grit will work well on the curb rash. Just a lot of work, plus the one pictured second to last will look a little wavey.

Very nice find OP, and yeah the centers would look good in the original color, have you tried some rubbing compound on the paint to help with the stain/discoloration?
