kpr Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 This heap of junk is still beached out the back. Have had some 15x8 widened steel bands hanging about for awhile now. steel surgeon spec, he also made some rings that fitted inside the bands. these will get welded in. then the mesh centers will bolt in like usual on a 2/3 piece rim. today i machined the inside of the rings so they locate the center nicely. also had to trim a few mm off the center, so they fit inside the band. excuse shit pictures These are the rings, machined. just need to drill the rest of the holes. they are actually 14" centers. offset should work out around here somewhere. they need to work on this junk and also my ae85 for skid wheels. i have beaten the front guards on the bmw and got alot more room to make them aggressive as possible. rear i dont know.. junk. need some tyres so can work out offset. till next time, nazi salute etc... ps: taking request on what colour to paint bands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 hell no, im not painting this thing. and yeh i got your mums pink hand bag. i had to give her a potato sack to carry my plums anyway, the rim bands were already matte black. looked like dog shit. spray bombed it silver. looks alot better. this is how you do fake wheels rota.. anyone got some 195/45r15's they want to sell? thats a 185/55 on there, is a bit big. cant turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 195 45 15 and 185 55 15 would be the same sidewall size wouldn't they? Wheels are awesome !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 195/50 will be similar to a 185/55. 195/45 will be a decent amount smaller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Done some more on my brota wheels holes Ring welded in from back side They aren't the roundest things ever being widened steels. which is obvious, soon as you drop in the machined ring. long as they spin i guess. finest spray can polished finish: 3 more to go! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 another trip to mackaz. he jammed the finished rim in the ballancing machine, was near spot on surprisingly. seems i picked the best band first. number 2 is 2mm wider on one side of the rim. so had to try get 1mm run out, both on inside and outside. to get the band to run true! liped the guard so wheel turns made some changes on the front. so it turns. cut up the lower arms again. previously i added 40mm into them (for stock wheels and padock bashing) cut them back to 30mm extended and added a decent amount of caster. has rediculous caster now. why am i working on this car? i don't know 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escorto. Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Saw these wheels today, nice work man. even run true on the balancer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 choice. i was kind of surprised they balanced up so well. as the bands aren't no precision machining. finished wheel. only problem is the spray paint i used is junk. looks pretty decent. but marks so easy. rub it and turns matte grey, the sliver ends up on your hand. its like the top layer never goes hard. anyone had good results with any silver product without going pro painted?

Vintage Grumble Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The VHT stuff seems to work pretty well? Love your work BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 that is vht stuff. not wheel paint though, just "quick coat" i tried the quick coat clear overtop. but it had a mare and went grey soon as the clear hit it. maybe got a bad can?

Vintage Grumble Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have used the quick coat chrome, and it is pretty thick shit. I just did 3x super light layers and it set chur as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Its about as close as your gonna get out of a can , but agree that stuff is beyond terrible for marks Got some gold stuff the same looks primo sprayed but marks real easy, sprayed some cheap spray can clear over it and its alot better for marks. two $6 cans of paint aint an expensive paint job hahaa drop them down the chromers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
