I have a pair of Enkei CDR-9's that i want to refinish, but the have massive curb rash and i was wondering if bondo would be a smart solution to these problems.

 

i guess i closer picture would be a better bet . . .

and the really bad one

other two rims are fine, i think i migth pull out all the gay looking pseudo-bolts too . . .

 

bondo might work... well read up. this is your bible to repairing your rims by yourself lol.

Just sand the rashed up parts really good and they should be smoothed out. If it has "deep" holes in it then a little bondo won't hurt. Bondo or JB Weld. Bondo is easier to sand though.

 

sweet, never worked with bondo before actually but i have some, and if its and thing like wood filler in respect to woodworking i'll be gravy, i'll post the results when its done . . .

but yeah . . .really deep gashes . . .

 

 

Looks good man!

So what did you end up using, metal glaze?

 

Nice job. It looks like you fixed the problem.

 

Thanks yeah it turned out well, used spot bondo in the tube . . .
So which one was fucked again?


I'll get pics off thm on the car when i get all done, i've only had time/materials to do one so far maybe by this weekend.

 

Wow, you really masked off the tire well. Every time I paint wheels no matter what it seems to find its way onto the tires. I coated the tires with a thick layer of vaseline last time. Just scrapes off.

 

fabulous!!!!

 

it needs to be friday, so i can buy more paint and tape and do the other 3

 

gotta try this

 

updates . . . what it looks like in place . . .
the thing i love about dark wheels is that it brings more attention to whats behind them without taking anything away from the wheels
ignore the fender, does anyone have one they'd sell me cheap heh . . .



sexi no?

 

Yeap, SEXI.

Nice shade of bronze.

Fish

 

very nice, looks like they came that way

 

yeah if i ever want to sell them i should be able to get a decent amount for them . . . after seeing them like this though . . . well they'll be staying around for a while.

 

they look nice. does the paint scratch easily?

 

supposed to withstand brake dust etc. so we'll see with time . . .

 

i had some enkei RS5 painted with the bronze duplicolor and they lasted over a year and i think are still holding up for the guy that bought them.

 

yeah i used duplicolor, best spray can paint ive ever used period, cant wait to do the rest of the *******

 

UPDATE~!!!!!!!
pictures of the rest of the wheels etc.




This one had alot of deep gashes, cant tell now. . .

 

I've played that taping game before....that **** takes forever!!!

So you took a pair of rashed up, crappy looking rims and for what....20-30 bucks maybe, you turned them into a "new" set.

Nice work man.

 

yep trashed Enkei CDR-9's now look mint again in a better color too.

 

the red is glazing putty. they use it so when they sand a rim repair, that the scratches dont show up in the paint work.
