    Fittipaldi restore ?

    Hey everyone, I found some rims today and thought they looked pretty old skool and wanted to know what other people's opinions were on whether or not I should spend the money on getting them refurbished. They are 5 spoke fittipaldi 15x7 et26 with all center caps. Personally I like the weave type wheels better like ronal ls and I really like the bbs rs 003, but these seem to have some character too. What do you think?

    The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

    Look like my sig? You're looking at spending $60 on a tool to take them apart, paying for any barrel/lip repair, and spending a good amount of time polishing the centers/lips. If you are getting bigger lips, they are around $150 a piece.

      They look similar but they are not three piece. I think they are called monolithics. I do like yours though, alot!

          Had these back in the early 90's mine where stock silver finished centers with machined lips. I think they'd look better then the chrome.
