Well i decided it was time to pull them out of winter storage to give them a good cleaning/polishing. As those that have them or know about them they have a lot of screws on the face. Well trying to polish around them was becoming a pain. Soooooo i decided to take them all out

Before (mostly brake dust and road grime)




Durring (i used buffing wheels with the drill with Mothers Billet Polish, then went over it with Flitz)






After








I Got all the bolts put back in, lock tighted and torqued properly, none leak air (as i had one start leaking last summer so i know they can)

Enjoy...

(yes i still have one that has curb rash. I ground the rash down so it doesnt show as much, but i still plan on having it repaired)

 

Woah.. that took a lot of time and patience. But looks nice and shiny clean! Great job, bro!!

 

Excellent turn around! Are those your summer's?

WW would appreciate this.

 

wow nice~

 

nice. Any pictures of it on the car?

 

clean.

 

I honestly think it was faster to take all those out than to try to polish around them. Last time i cleaned them my fingers were in agony from running into each bolt. This took maybe 2.5 hrs for all 4, it usually took 1-2 for each. Im happy with the turnout.

 

Looking good man! Much much much better than before

 

Wow, amazing turnout!

 

Just mounted them on the car. Ill take a pic or 2 in the AM when there is some light.

 

Awesome turnout with those!

 

Oh and btw, you know that Senor NSX is going to be ing when he opens this thread right?...

 

I know, Im surprised he hasnt come in here yet.

 

Looking good Kris!! I haven't seen your TL in the longest time.. I need to take a look @ the beast again.. as well as go for a cruise in it.

 

Agree!

 

Some quick pics of them on the car

 

Nice wheels.

 

goodjob. i wish they were more aggresive but i know when u got these wheels that wasnt even close to being "in" yet haha. OG wheels

 

Thanks. Though i dont want any more aggressive, I need the ground clearance i have, i need the wheels not to have a ton of camber because i average 50k miles a year. Plus i dont like stretched tires, i like fat tires. Next up are 255s

 

Nice work!! Can you tell me what kind of buffing wheel you used?

TIA

 

Nice.

 

I used felt and cotton wheels. You can get them at sears in various (from 1" to 6") sizes with attachments for drills

 

^ thank you sir!

 

Looking Nice!!!...wow great buffing also....really shinny

 

Looks great Kris. And no I won't get emotional.

 

ya.. must have taken a shitload of patients. awesome job

 

 

Yea sure, im sure you wiped a tear from your eye.

 

love those wheels!!

Great job on cleaning them up I gotta clean up my servos... doubt it will be THAT time consuming though lol

 

I dont mind spending the time when the results are like they were

 

Awesome wheels. They've been a long time favorite. What did you torque them to? I'm about to put mine back together.

 

with the locktite i went 28 lb/ft

 

I dont blame you they look amazing!!
