i think they look awesome, too bad i dont have money to spend, for christmas is coming. are u gonna paint them?

i just did. the old gold was chipping n had some corrosion. ima post more pix on tuesday when i get my tires switched.

They look good. How much did you spend to retore them?

Look awesome, did a good job on them.

Are they 4x110 though?

if they are i hope hes not plannin to put him on the 7 behind the rims....thats a SE with diff lug pattern

Ya, he needs 4x114.3 for them to fit properly

What did you do to it? What kind of tools did you use at work? Would you restore my LE wheels.... I live in fremont

Ya, i know. ^^ Really

He never said what bolt patern his car was, so I was assuming it was the more common, for 1st gens, of the two.

Look really nice, I have a pair of the same ones in with Black centers in 4x110, I don't like the shoulder lug nuts, prefer the cone style.
Great job!

What brand are they, I'm guessing Enkie meshies

they're different than the Enkei mesh I have.

Looks sort of like my Rikens.

I'm really interested in what you did to restore them, too...

i really dont know what brand rim this is. came from a celica (celica supra model) ya its 4x114.3. well i used a quick spin machine that lets me spin the wheel without me turning it myself. i used a angle grinder to fix the curb rashes n sanded that face n the lip. paint the face with an air brush then polish the lip. took me about 6 hours to fix all for yesterday with lunch n all . more pix to come.


got any pix of ur le wheels?

I didn't notice the GSL-SE wheels in the background, oops.

How much do you charge for your services? I got a set of rims that I want to restore since the paint is chipping/etc. I was going to search later on but figured, hey he did a great job on his might as well ask him, plus you are an 7 owner. :)

Pics of my LE wheels... I will try to take some more if you need it

Nice job on the gold paint. That can be a hard color to get an even, consistant finish on sometimes. Be sure to use a good clearcoat, the paint and polish will last much longer.

ay u were at that meet too. haha well ill chack the prices. usualy by the size of the rim. im guessing 14.cuz usualy we repair benz n bmw usualy 18 to 20 inch rims. ill get u guys updated i just started woking there.

:drool:

nice!!

Extremely nice looking wheels. Good job.

The size is 14 inch... I want the wheels to be black with polished lip... Hook me up with a good discount :)
