      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

              That is not a 295 lol
              You mean 195?

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

                lawl, yes.

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

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

                                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
