JVC Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I said I would post more pictures of the wheels I picked up. Started refinishing them myself, but got a good offer for a full refinish from a friend who specializes in refinishing wheels. very highly considering getting them done if I sell some other wheels and such. BBS RK-II 17x8 Et35 5x108 Split one apart to start refinishing Will probably have my friend do them because he can fix the bend, polish the lips, and paint the centers. It's just a matter of what color to make the centers and if I decide to run them or sell them once they're re-finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V55 CS Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I prefer the center in light grey métallic, with red car, it's not evident to find a correct married color (black & white are very common) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I prefer the center in light grey métallic, with red car, it's not evident to find a correct married color (black & white are very common) I want them to be flashy, but not so flashy that if I sold them here on VS that all of the shoobies wouldn't like the wild styling. Considering White faces, gold bolts and red center caps, but thats been done so I'd love to think of something a bit more unique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 i never really liked barrels and faces of a different color, polished to machined is ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, polished lips are definitely happening, as well as black barrels so I don't have to clean them as often. Lips will be polished then cleared so that upkeep is easy. Faces and bolts are the real X factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVC Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 A little like Kalvin little red wagon ??? haha, I've been talking with Kalvin about everything for a while, he's given some good suggestions on color schemes, just gotta decide what to go with. I can't wait til Kalvin drives out to SoWo and we can do a photoshoot together. Red Sedan and Red Wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVC Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Bad news... I had a feeling all along that these may not have been 5x108, the guy said they were and that they came off of a Volvo, but the idiot before my must have just had them crammed on there, not properly fitted.

JVC Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Audi, Mercedes etc... Probably going to sell them and find something else... Considered having them redrilled but that's lots of extra work and cost that in the end would cost me more to redrill an refinish than the wheels are worth.

bordvo Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yeah, you could do it on foglights as well, you don't need to use the contact paper but I did so I could take it off whenever I wanted with relative ease. It's the smart but cheap way, definitely been staying cheap. I'll post some pictures of the new wheels im working on in this thread tomorrow. Still undecided if I'm going to run them or just sell them once refinished. Cool, thanks man for confirming. Weak on your bolt pattern discovery :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Cool, thanks man for confirming. Weak on your bolt pattern discovery Yeah, I had a feeling when I was unable to find any reports of 5x108 original RK's... Then measured for myself and yeah...
