    refinishing unmaintained old-school wheels; a project.

    recently came across a cool set of wheels that were in bad need of some lovin'. i had just received my fin-aid and paycheck....and then they were in my truck.

    first wheel was coming out nicely, although i had massive trouble trying to break them apart so for now, i'm just polishing out the lips and centers.





    and a start:

    What are they? What are the specs? Those look like they
    have some potential!

        Nice. Good job Mike. Can't wait to see them finished.

            they are weds albinos. took me forever to figure that out because they have no stampings aside from the brand name. they measure out to 16x7 ~et8-12. and yes, 5x120. they don't appear to be directional.
