- Wed Dec 03, 2008 12:12 pm #81704 Basically, the last person who had my wheels kurbed the crap out of one of them. Only one, managed to avoid the rest...

Since it's a polished lip though I don't know how to go about fixing it so I can retain the look? I want to pull all the wheels off at some point soon and just clean them up as best I can and polish them up. Already sprayed the innards (wasn't great mind) but yeah...

Any tips?

I'd rather not fork out for a full refurb, imo they aren't worth it when I only paid £70 for em in the first place with tyres...

Might just save some pennies for some bronze CE-28Ns mebbe

pic might help to understand what I mean:

- Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:42 pm #81730 oh yeah, that's a little much to wetsand...

you could try a metal filler, but then it wouldn't match the finish so you might want to repaint the lips to something other than polished metal.

- Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:46 pm #81765 They wouldn't look as awesome then

Yeah reckon I'll just leave them and maybe look for something else. I like em, but they're heavy heavy wheels and I wants something lighter

- Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:24 am #81863 My oldschool Racing Sparcos are starting to do the same, from the previous owner, though not quite THAT bad!

Just give 'em a good paintjob/shine job and unless you are 1 foot away you won't even be able to notice.

Like you said, they are decent wheels until you can afford something GREAT!

I'll enlighten you when:

a) I can be bothered to find some accurate scales
b) I have money for replacements since you want them for free
