hey i just picked up a set of wheels called Vestas. supposedly they were produced by Rays back in the early 90's. I have no idea if that is true, but just trying to get the history on them. They were black with a red lip but previous owner removed the color. let me know thanks!!

 

yes they are made by RAYS FOUNDRY along w/ volk, gram lights, versus, trial zelda, sebring, payton place, r.s. bros, etc.

i would say they are rare in a sense that you certainly wont see that brand/model on your everyday car.


my best guess on them right now would probably be an older model sebring ITC mesh

 

what color scheme should i do, should i go back to stock colors and get new center caps, or do another color scheme?

 

honestly, i like keeping them all original....but i actually like silver face w/ a nice polished lip which will give it a classic look but it's up to you, my friend

 

ok man, thanks for the help!! yea they look really bad. im going to sand them down a little and polish them after it gets to the really fine grit!

 

oops/// on me..


the name of your wheel is on the name tag..

sebring type M

 

sebring type M, is that what they are called now? well just wondering, if i was to clean them up and either leave them silver with the polished lip or even had them powder coated black with a red lip. about how much you think i could sell em for?

usually powder coat/ sandblast goes for $200+ (unless u got a hookup).

if you got them for $50-$100 then go for the $200 refurbish and then go resell them for $500-$600... i also saw some cool center caps that may match those... pm me if yah wanna see.

when i wanna make extra cash on the rims, i try to just polish/ paint them myself. it could be a pain in the a*s sometimes but well worth the work at the end

well whatever yah do..GL man

 

A bit of elblow grease and moola and you'll have yourself a nice set of rims

 

hells yea..thats what i plan on. so what should i use to clean them up really good before i get em powder coated?
