just got these bbs...two are sprayed bronze and have a polished lip...the other two need some work....i need a shop that will strip the paint on all the rims and possibly bring the lips back to life.

here are a pic of the rims



id do it myself...but its some work...and i just had a baby...so no time...

 

MagMasters, Santa Ana CA

 

they pretty good?? and reasonable?? have you checked them out?

 

speedway polishing in santa ana : good work, fast turnaround, reasonable prices

boltons in gardena : reasonable prices, good work, workload fluctuates so could be a week or two at times but they never let me down.

 

i saw these for sale today i think?
look really nice, what are you planning on doing to them?

 

yeah the wife just bought these for me this moring.....

two of them are in pretty good condition....polished lip and sprayed bronze....the other two need some work....still got the original paint and lip needs to be polished

The Plan (the first one):
work on the two rims that need to be fixxed
-polish lip
-strip paint
strip the other two rims of the played out bronze color
spray them either Grey or Gunmetal
buy new tires
buy longer lug bolts (stock ones come up short )
call it a day

The New plan:
Take the all the rims to a rim repair shop
-have them fix the minor curb damage
-have them strip the paint
-have them polish the lip
bring them home and spray either gunmetal or grey myself
buy longer lug bolts
new tires
and another step towards completing my Euro-Integra

i had to change plans b.c. i tried working on one rim and its too much of a hastle.....just had a lil girl and dont have too much time to work on them...plus i would rather they get professionally done...WAY SICK!


any suggestions...maybe another color i should try?? their going on my milano red integra...

 

that set up is gonna look tuff when you get those wheels taken care of

</TD></TR></TABLE>

you may need special lug nuts or just to have the lug holes redone..try a shop call russel machine in gardena on normandie for the machine work or may be even the wheelsmith in costa mesa can help..they both have cnc drills and are pretty reasonable on price

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by iaintnogangster &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">boltons! </TD></TR></TABLE> yep yep or speedway!
