How heavy are the Crown Vic rims?

 

Thanks!

In the future Im looking for re amemiya sideskirts and a rear diffuser. Yeah those tires are 205/55's I dont plan to run these wheels for ever, I have rpf1's on my mind so I can fit wider tires.

 

16.4#s

 

They're nice wheels, I assume they're only available in the us though? Ever heard of a crown Victoria!

 

Mostly USA, some in the middle east. It's a full size american sedan made by Ford. And by full size I mean huge!!! We're talking 4000 pounds with a V8 and still slower then a riced out civic! If you have even see an episode of the TV show cops there is a good chance you have see the fleet version of this car.

 

assuming these are BBS rims ?

 

Ah it's the 'typical American car' that uneducated people assume the whole of the USA drives around in and sits at drive through movies. I think they're kinda cool, however I won't be locating the wheels as these 'queen vics' wouldn't fit on European roads lol, thus are un-locateable.

Random babble over.

 

Anyone know exactly what the specs are on the deep dish Vic wheels?

 

deep dish? as far as i know they are 16x7 only?

 

The ones with the bigger lip are 16x7 +6.

 

who did the polishing i have a set of mesh rikens that i would like mirror polished.

 

Theres alot of them at my junkyard but they all have lug bolt locks

 

I can't think of any reason why this should stop you. Vice grips, Cut-off wheels, all kinds of tools you can use to get around this.

 

Get some liquid wrench soak them up today.. go back tomorrow with some cheap sockets and a hammer, lock the socket on the lock and it should back off. Your going to destroy the socket so get one per lock..

 

full-cruise: i just striped the clear coat off of it and it was like that. my friend just finish polishing them i'll post pics later tonight.

 

really thats really nice i cant wait to see your pics. what did you use to strip some airplane and some good water??

 

here they are polished...and that's not even sanding them down.

 

just picked up a pair but when i got them home and washed them one looked almost polished while the other looks metallic silver whats a good way to strip/polish paint thinner and some fine grit sand paper?

 

oOoOOoOoh look at the fresh hankooks

 

I'm in the process of polishing my C.V's. Aircraft stripper on the lips then sand down with 60 grit then Wet sand all the way up to 2000. I still have to polish but after the sanding they came out looking sswwweeeeeeeettt! Hope this helps.

 

I'm assuming the 60 grit was to get rid of the machining lines on the lips...?

 

I used 60 to get rid of everything to get down to pure metal after I applied the aircraft stripper. What machining lines exactly are you talking about?

 

Hub covers?

 

 

my set i just picked up. for some reason i had to roll the front right fender pretty bad. i only used a 5mm spacer. could the fact that my ball joints are bad be the cause of that haha
