today i got some wheels for a hell of a deal

ther 14x5.5 american racing wheels acording to the stamps on the back this is how i got them lots of dirt and oxidation

ofter a couple hours hot soapy water a brass wire brush some wire wheel action and a little paint

they need to be polished still but that can come later i got tired after 4 hours of working on one rim

bonvo · **Posted:** Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:24 pm

today was one of thouse "well while im at it...." kind of days started with me wanting to tighten up the front end and was going to shelly for 1 nut and a cotter pin and i figured well while im at it ill swap the brakes pulled the brakes off and found the spindles are different so i thought well while im at it ill swap the whole strut

pics

taking one nut turned into this :eek:

all bolted in

wheel on to see what it will look like
