Looking good man. And maybe I can check these out sometime when I'm in town. I'm actually from HH and have friends that live there still. Not to many times you hear about that town unless you are close by to it...lol.

 

haha ya man i know what you mean. i was thinking about selling these once they are done, but who knows.

its effing cold out now so progress will be uber slow unless i can get a heater for my garage. ill probably strip the wheels this week or next and then decide what i want to do with them colour wise

 

started to polish the barrels today, and its gonna suck lol. it got one small section lookin real pretty after going through 400, 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 grit along with some mothers polish. ill get some pics up later!

 

in 4 picz

 

Great courage tackling a job like this.

 

thanks dude. its effin cold so i really dont feel like doing anything to the wheels since that has to be done in the garage. ill look into getting a heater so i can polish the barrels

 

polishing barrels is no fun.

still working on mine

 

how are you doing yours bro?

 

working from 200-2000 but i should be done soon. & pics of my hand polished wheels so you can see if the hard work pays off

 

wow. that looks pretty good man! did you wet sand? and how long did it take you to get it to look like that?

 

i wet sanded once i hit 800 grit. took me 2 months!

 

lol damn. well looks like id better get my *** on it then!

 

updates?

 

ya not just yet. my garage is a mess so i havent found time to work on them. once we clean the garage out then there should be some updates

 

im half way through polishing my Volk Lug nuts, these are a pain enough I couldn't imagine polishing them by hand ha

 

My 2 cents, because I just love it when someone takes the time to rip things apart more then they were originally intended to be ripped apart!

SO I'm guessing one of volk's things is how light the wheels are? cool cool, well anyway, rather then clean those bolts, why don't you invest in some titanium or aluminum ones? with that same head type... looks kinda like torx style but reversed, anyway nice looking bolts.

I'm sure it will cost a penny or 3.

I think glow in the dark is just crazy enough to do, it might not be my first impression! but hey do something different then the rest of the crowd!

 

lol ya the barrels suck right now. i dont want to do the faces lol but i probably will. good luck! try to get a bullet polisher like i did, it makes it really easy!

well i didnt buy new bolts because it was free to polish them with the bullet polisher lol. they are all safe and shiny in bags in the garage. but thanks for the kind words!

glow in the dark is second if i dont polish the faces. who knows, we will see when it happens!

 

i say go with the glow in the dark it looks cool as hell....is it illegal tho? for some reason i would think that it is lol. Where is this paint sold? im not looking for home-depo crap the good stuff.

 

i just googled it lol

 

interesting.. google is my friend. good paint for some steelies.

 

^ that looks way interesting but for some reason im very very doubtful that it will ever really glow like that once painted with that paint.

 

and there is no way i would stick that paint on a 3 piece wheel, not to say its ugly. but just interesting.

 

Well whatever wheel its going on there is no way its ever really going to glow like that in the dark.

 

i am thinking about a week lifespan for that bright of a color.

 

It would be interesting to see it done but realistically i dont think it can be. prove me wrong lol
