so i was bored, decided to give my 7's rims a facelift. whatcha think?

 

Hey, that ain't bad. Nice work.

 

Those are really nice, I'm surprized. What paint did you use?

 

dupont gloss black enamel with the dupont clear enamel. you gotta love aircraft stripper. made my job so easy, and ended up costing about 22 dolars total. i diddnt even have to polish the lip. im glad it came out as good as it did.

 

Maybe I should try that with my wheels. They're looking a tad worn.

 

What stereo setup do you have? It looks like you have a couple 12's in the back.

 

no 12's, just a lonly pair of 10's with 600 watts. bumps pretty good. i love the way a hatch hits. my bro-in-law wants me to put it on a drag strip with a v8. i said no way in hell. its an 83 limited edition.

 

How long did it take for you to do all of the rims like that?

 

took about 6 hours, a toothbrush, 2 cans of aircraft stripper, 2cans of black, 2 cans of clear. no sanding required. also had to get a roll of blue trim tape. thats all

 

Looks good BUT YOU ARE ONLY HALF DONE!! go get some mother's metal polish and start polishing the lip

 

dammit, i was going to do that but it got cold. i was just excited to get a different look on my car

 

it looks good though.....nice work mang

 

I know what I'm doing next!

 

hell yeah, onlyonthurs you inspired me

 

You actually did a LOT better job at the polishing than i did. Your look sooooo much shinier. You did a great job mang!

 

that lip looks good.

 

aww. I miss those rims Only....

 

Man, those LE wheels look great polished! I have a set I'm going to work on this winter. What length lug bolts, or studs are you guys using??

 

stock length

 

Unfortunately, I didn't receive lug bolts with the wheels, and the bolts from the more common oem wheels are too short for the LE wheels. I just thought someone might know the length. I've searched several times, but haven't found a definitive answer.

 

If the regular ones are too short then get a set of the ones for the SA waffle wheels. They are a bit longer.

 

ooo those are nice. im tempted myself.

 

Stock wheel bolts have always worked fine for me. I have 3 sets of these on my RX-7s and RX-4. It is a pain to get the standard bolts started due to the deep recesses they go into. I just use a deep well socket to remove and install. I believe the LE models had bolts with the same length threaded section but longer heads.

 

Thanks 74,

It looks like the my old bolts will work fine. I appreciate the help!
