    Rebuilding mah wheels.....

    Rebuilding my BBS RS003's

    STEP 1 - Taking them apart, and removing the clear coat.

    Tools needed:
    - 8mm 12 point socket
    - 10mm 12 point socket
    - Appropriate ratchets
    - Rubber Mallet
    - Oven
    - Paint stripper / gloves


    Intact:




    Bolts removed:




    In the oven: 350F for 5 minutes... DON'T BE A RETARD, USE OVEN MITTS WHEN YOU REMOVE THEM. Girlfriend wasn't impressed, told her she never used it anyways... less impressed.




    Looks tasty...




    In pieces: (this is where you use the rubber mallet) Also, before I seperated them, I marked them with a permanent marker, indicating wheel # and where they had been aligned (drawing a line across all three pieces)




    Close up of clear:




    Cleaning products: (tip, buy gloves that fit... trust me) Bought teh super strippa cause it made me laugh. Proceeded to refer to girlfriend as "Super Strippa"




    Makeshift cleaning station: Printer box, chopped down, with a garbage bag liner.

          I feel bad for you.
          I just rebuilt a set of BBS's -- what a pain in the ass that was.
          The sad thing is, I'd probably do it again in the near future, cause damnn it's rewarding!

              Did you buy new bolts?
              If so, where and how much?

              I have to rebuild my Style 5s, and I want to do it right.
