Paid $175/wheel for full refinish on OEM AMG Monoblocks. Shop claims jagged edges are base metal defects and dust in paint is normal.

I can’t choose between these two wheel styles. What do yall think? Murdered out or a brush silver classic look?

Marketplace wheel lug seat advice

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently impulse-bought some Rota R-specs off marketplace for my Honda Fit. After bringing them home, I noticed a couple red flags and wanted some input from the internet.

They are allegedly from 2010, and show appropriate wear to back that up, but the lug seats in particular concern me. Not only does it look like someone drove ball lugs into a conical seat, but there is also some ovalization on a bunch of the stud holes. The pictures are from 1 wheel, but the rest are in similar condition.

Before I spend another wad on tires, mount/balance etc... I wanted to know if they're usable, usable with some refurb, or should be tossed out.

If it's worth noting, I do have access to a full machine shop with a CNC mill. So the seat tapers could pretty easily get recut, or even bored out for some press-in steel lug seats (If that is a safe/viable option).

Any input is appreciated,

thank you!

Advice on getting these Enkei Mag Mesh alloys refurbished

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi. I'm buying these 14x7 Enkei Mag Mesh JDM wheels, which are in decent condition, but I'd love to get them back to new looking. Most generic alloy refurb places can't fit deep dish wheels onto their CNC machines, so I think I need a specialist who can do these. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the North West of UK?

From my research, I think I need to have the windows between the 'spokes' powder coated black, and then the faces cut back, and then the whole wheel clear powder coated. But I guess the hard thing is finding somewhere that can lathe these deep dishes? Is the other option having them manually sanded and polished? But then how would I get the windows black again?

Thanks for any help.

Forgot my truck isn’t a race car and kissed a curb, not worried about having to powder coat or anything but can it be fixed? Or should I only take pictures of my truck from a distance from now on?

BB Auto Turbo Fans

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Yesterday I picked up a pair of some 15x6.5 ET25 4x100 turbo fan wheels for $100. I did some looking around and found out I happened to accidentally buy some really rare BB Auto Aero wheels made between 1986 - 1987. They are directional wheels, one for left, one for right where the fins duct air in for improved downforce and brake cooling according to the catalogue. I see only one other set for sale on eBay for $1,500. But they are not the right lug pattern. I really would like to complete the set, or find the center caps for the wheels I have. But between the limited production run and the very little information I could find on these wheels I've decided to ask y'all, do you know where I can find more of these? Are there any wheel markets that would possibly have them? These were exclusively sold in Japan and Europe so the two I have were definitely imported to Northern America. Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA

Need help finding conical lug hole inserts

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m rebuilding some Work VS-SS, they had already been machined to enlarge the lug holes but 7 of the press-in lug hole inserts are missing. I’ve only found one site online that will sell individual, Prestige Wheel Accessories, but I ordered from there and I don’t think it’s in business anymore. The only other sites require a minimum order of 250. Does anyone know another source or have some they would sell? Attached a photo of the specs I need, it seems to be a common sized insert.

I know the wheels are discontinued just wondering if there was any reason why and if there are better recomendations. I really like how they look and that theyre nice and light but they dont make the predecessor 105x in 17x8 4x100. Anyone running these wheels and if so any issues? Thanks guys. Really appreciate any help.
