One of my usual ideas that spiral way out of control.
I picked up a set of destroyed 2 piece 17" bugattis from some kid. These were originally full chrome, but were peeling and then dunked in all sorts of gross plastidip. I took them apart and had the original lips machined off the barrels and the centers copper plated. They've never been mounted since plating. They accept the large bbs centers, I was going to run the red Bugatti centers on these as they are available for around $150.
This ad is for the faces only. I will include the face studs, which were also chrome, now have some sort of paint on them. You might be able to clean them up but I definitely recommend they get replaced as well. I might be able to dig up the barrels for additional fee, but I'm unsure if they're still around, as they were left in the possession of someone who has a habit of selling and throwing out stuff that was not his.
These faces were on a 17" wheel but you could downsize it to 16" barrels easily, which is what I planned on doing with my cabrio, but it's honestly not in the cards at this time so I think these need to go.
The copper is honestly stunning in person. They did a very nice job on these, with the exception of around a couple of lug holes where there is a tiny but of buff through to the nickel beneath them. Just being straight up here about this before anyone tries to tell me otherwise. Other than that they need a good once over with a little polish and a cloth, as these pics are literally after me unwrapping them from sitting for 2 years.
$1075 shipped for these in the lower 48.
