what's the best way to refinish a wheel? any recommendations?

i planned on hitting the wheel with aircraft paint stripper, the washing it with degreaser a few times, then hitting it with self etching primer, then filler primer, sanding it, filler primer again, then base coat, then actual color coat, then clear coat.

Sand/bead blast is the best and easiest way to do it, unless you plan to polish

[ethrtyiS]

i don't have that kind of money. i want this done cheaply.

[ethrtyiS]

is this too much stretch?
edit: 195/40/16 on 16x8.5

That is not a 295 lol
You mean 195?

205/45 would look best if that's what you're going for

[ethrtyiS]

lawl, yes.

edit: i'm thinking 205 45/50 may do just fine.

[ak-]

[ethrtyiS]

205/45 is what i will go with then, thanks.

talk to Mike. You will find the money to do it after hearing his debacle

[ethrtyiS]

^ yes, but, he also didn't do it right.

[yert315]

what do you mean? I was there for most of it.

I refinished my wheels a few years ago. Sand blast > *. Don't do it the Travis way
