DIY Wheel Refinishing - BBS Style 5s

[ACTcLean]

such a good write up! this inspires me to refinish some beat VS-xx....

.... I separated the nuts and bolts into two different jars each full of vinegar. ...

I did this too (well the nuts), which totally destroyed them.

Great write-up! I guess I got really lucky with mine being in such good shape, most I've seen look like yours before you started.

Wow! this is cool. What I did with my car is that I change the color from black to marble green and black. It looks great and a lot of people turn their eyes onto to my car. I changed the rim from silver to white to because the color of the car is already black so the white rim is really hyped.

Thank you for the DIY! however is there anything that go extremely wrong? LIke using to much Jasco?

[Vorsprung]

I'm in the middle of refinishing mine.
You can be pretty liberal with the Jasco on the lips and even the faces- it wont hurt the metal..

As for going wrong, the only big thing I see is over tightening the bolts on re-assembly- I've heard of them snapping.

Excellent write up!!! One question...why did you buy the higher grit sand paper? You didn't mention using it.
