How Rare are these? Vesta Wheels
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

Re: (Captain JDM)
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

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
