My New Le Wheels
So I bought some Le wheels from AussiesMG (Great Guy) and I sent them to a shop that my dealer uses for wheel repair.
I was completely blown away with how they came back. I figured that they would just blast them and re-paint them orig silver. When I got the wheel back I couldnt believe. Here is the process of what they did. 1) The entire wheel is hand sanded (yes both the front and the back). 2) He then puts the wheel lo a CNC machine (I think thats like a lathe) and cuts about .005" off the top of the lip giving it a machined apperance. 3) The inside and the center is then painted Sparkle Silver. 4) He then clear coats the entire front of the wheel. 5) Off to the drying room for 24 hrs of curing. The end result is a stock looking mesh center with a machined lip and all I can say is that it looks absolutly sick.... I will post pics tonite so everyone can see... Jason |
Sounds great, what is the cost?

Ohhhh..... That changes things
Still not bad 500 for a full set of brand new wheels. Sounds like they dont cheap on the process neither. |
Glad you like them man, its great when a purist gets parts and builds something special from them

Those look nice Jay, I had a set of my Epsilons milled a little bit on the lips. Turned out great. Ill be moving up from 15" wheels to 18" BBS when I get my FD :ylsuper: .

Great job on the wheels. Seems expensive, but that is a standard rate any more. The guy I bought my Epsilons from spent 200 buck to polish the outside only, no trueing or painting the centers either.

Wowness...
I would give my left nut to have LE wheels that looked like that. Jon |
Very nice!

|
Those are very nice!
I had a set of authentic MoMo's similar to what you have on my first 1982 RX that I sorely wish I still had! Scott |
Wow. Those look great.
