Larry's 89 Zinno E30 M3 build

[probiker]

One of the best Zinnos out there . Love the way you put every possible effort and love in making it perfect in each way. Want to own it so bad

I never wanted to own a red car but I'd make an exception for this one :)

Thank you.

I actually just sold the Porsche fans. They were several inches too tall and I just couldn't get myself to cut them apart. So, fans are on hold but the wheels are ready for them nonetheless.

Beautiful car!

thanks for your answer.

i had thought you refurbished your rims. but now you said they are brand NEW lips. are new lips still available? in other words, they are then assembled.

i have decided to remove the clear coat. any idea what to get from supermarket to do this job? i am also debating whether to have the lips removed in order to spray paint the spoke

thanks again

PM me

Feel free to PM me about this.

That is not the case with mine since they are brand new lips. You don't want to spray clear over a polished surface - it will be prone to peeling and will dull the finish. The clear coat (paint or powder) really needs a rough surface to adhere to, hence the machined finish on factory RS lips. You can do it, but it's not a permanent solution in my opinion.

i just had the specialist look at my wheels. the lips are coated with a layer of clear coat. and the aluminium is finished with fine lines. if clear coat is removed and you polish the aluminium, the fine machined lines are gone! is this the case with your wheels that are polished. and why would you not spray clear coat to protect the polished aluminium?

in my case i have some oxidation and chip marks. so the coating is broken exposing aluminium.

There's no coating. They're just raw, polished aluminum. These lips come polished so I'm not sure how much the polishing should cost on its own.

Caps are brand new, they were around $30 each IIRC.

i am about to take them to a specialist tomorrow. but i want to do like how yours are done. so after polishing what's it coated with? would you share how much you spent on such professional polishing?

are the caps new or also refurbished? how much did you pay for the caps? the red color is so gorgeous looking it is a perfect fit on e30. significantly sexier than black color.

thanks
