We had a member that purchased these used from someone (non-VCA) out west. He knew ahead of time they were "track" wheels, but when he received them, the center caps were shipped loose in the carton also. The face looked like someone had thrown a handful of gravel at them. Of course the lips were curbed too. Unfortunately, I've only got a couple of before pics. I wish I would've taken some more before I started on 'em.
BEFORE
AFTER (stripped clear-coat/powder coat, 3 steps of die grinding, 9 steps of sanding, wet-sanding, 3 steps of polish)
They're not new, but man, they look a whole lot better now. Polished up, mounted/balanced and ready to ROCK N ROLL.
If you're wondering how long it took, I quit keeping up with the hours after about 40. I'm guessing 75+ hrs
. I worked on them on the little spare time I DID have over the past 9 months and didn't do it for the money. I have a wheel repair business and enjoy doing it. Now it's time to start on mine so don't get any ideas!
