  • Help with some Gotti's

    Hi,

    A few months ago I picked up a set of 17x9.5 and 17x11 Gotti G1001's that were just refinished with new bolts.

    So as they've been sitting here waiting for spring time to roll around I've been debating taking them apart and re-doing them.

    Has anybody ever seen a set of primadonna Gotti's before? I was thinking of doing the gold bolts and getting the centers powdercoated white.

    Does anybody know what size and where I could get the bolts for these in gold?

    Thanks,

    And a picture for reference

      They look great as is, I'd rock them for a while. Then consider the refurb. I dont think they'll look bad either way.

        it looks like you're missing the original Gotti hardware anyways. what you have just looks like standard BBS stuff, so you can just get that in gold.

        IMO, the standard look for Gottis (polished spokes with color accents) is the best look, so I'd stick with that. The previous owner of yours should have painted in the bolt holes though.

          The bolts actually all have "KX GOTTI" printed on them, and I believe the previous owner got the lips from lips from rotiform.

          I just need to find some center caps.

            I would do full polish and gold bolts. Looks good as is also though.

              Are these all I would need?

              I've never taken apart a set of 3 piece wheels.

                Count how many you need. Will also need to wire wheel off old silicone and new sealant for resealing them.

                  I need 120 , 30 per wheel.

                  Now just to decide what to do. I think the main reason I want to redo the centers is because the previous owner had the windows painted and in some spots its sloppy and they must of taped it off badly.

                  Most people don't notice it but it bugs me.

                    Another question, figured I'd just add it here.

                    Where do I find the center caps for these?!

                    I've only found one place on ebay but they want 450$ just for center caps.

                      Welcome to old school 3pc wheels, sadly most the time up to half the value of the wheels are in the center caps. BOL, you are probably better off buying another set with caps, keeping those caps and reselling the wheels.

                        Center caps pop up on eBay pretty often for cheaper than that.

                          Just paint the windows white, but leave the face polished

                            Oh, word really ?

                            I've been checking eBay every two weeks or so and haven't seen any. If you do please let me know.

                              Check every day or every other because when they come up they sell pretty fast because everyone I know that has gottis needs the center caps. And if you don't care if they say gotti or not I know ronal is pretty good at getting you center caps for their vintage wheels but you gotta deal with them straight through Germany.
