Clean Rims

Well after a lot of tought, I decided to put my old 18s back on my car, origionally I had taken them off do to two of them being somewhat warped, but they can still be balance out perfect, also I don't have the funds for new ones, so I pulled them out the garage and cleaned them up, added some protection, and preped them for storage until I get some tire, which shoud be soon. They were pretty bad off, but with some soap and water, goo gone, eagle on wadding polsih, and brake parts cleaner, there amost good as new.

Here is what the looked like befroe.



Once they were clean, I preped the suface with DP Wheel Glaze and then applied three coats of Klasse SG. I'll probably put one more coat after I put them back on the car.





I placed them in plastic bags to keep them clean till I get tires.



Can't wait to put them back on, I'm so tired of the hubcaps.

I would sell them, but I don't think they will fit your car, they are 18", 7.5" wide, 5 x 114 lig patern.

the cool thing about painted mags, you can change them at will. Pay a rim shop or consider doing it yourself. You can even have them powdercoated many colors rather inexpensively.

That lug pattern should fit an accord, how much would you sell them for?
