    the wheels ive been building for the E30 are almost done...

    ... and im excited!

    i didnt post a build thread here, but heres everything up until now -

    this is how i bought them...
    the previous owner was a old dude who had them on his E28. he really had no idea what they were and i got them for a steal!



    they are a staggered set (7.5"8.5") of 3 piece OZ vega wheels...
    no rash, no bends, just in desperate need of some love.

    had to order the special sockets then did the tear down -







    then gave the lips to a buddy who does polishing...
    they came out great!



    ...the gold plated bolts came in...



    ...all the while i have the centers at the powdercoater getting done in pearl white...



    ...centers are done...



    ...and finally a pic of the lip sitting on top of the center.
    the centercaps are polished so far, but i have big plans for them. they will be totally custom (perks of having access to a CNC router).



    i plan on prepping and painting the barrels black next, then its time to assemble!

              Interesting center caps, almost appears that someone made them, they're definitely not the originals.

                That's why I went with my 16" ACTs rather than the standard Style 5s everyone is going with, they're just that little bit different.

                Great job on those wheels!
