I started stripping the rusty looking lip.

I've got several projects going on right now, so I'm going slow on these.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure whatever car that it was on was never washed and probably never had new brakes put on it. haha

Awesome work man! Now I'm frantically searching Kijiji (Craigslist) to find some dirt cheap 3 piece, haha - would be great to learn how it all works.

I picked up a set of recently refinished wheels, so I don't want to go tearing them apart myself just yet, but seeing your transformation of these is epic man. Well done!

Sent the centers off to have them re-drilled. Most of the bolts are cleaned and painted. Once the centers are drilled I'll have them assembled and on my car in time for Water by the Bridge!

If you dont mind me asking where are you getting your centers redrilled and how much did they charge?

Wheel Pharm in Mt. Washington Kentucky. (just outside Louisville) $55 per center.
