Be real careful taking them apart. I've heard horror stories about people doing that. You take it apart and the rim itself goes into an oval shape and you can't put the centers back in. This like that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Let a wheel shop fix the curb rash and powdercoat them. Its not that expensive. Let me know if you want to do that. I can give you some people to get ahold of that do real nice work.

They will look nice on your car though.

Make sure the center bore of the wheel fits on over the hub on your car, since they came off a supra. You might need to get the little hub rings to make them work.

I'll check them later today once it stops ******* RAINING.

I can fix the curb rash myself. Nothing there that I dont do when I polish manifolds.

File them some, sand smooth and repolish.

I'm not gonna power coat them. I was just playing around with photoshop.

I cant wait till we have good weather. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

What about maybe powder coating the center. They are 3 piece I can take them apart.

Weigh them first! Maybe you can add them to one of the data sheets out there. The dark centres look great!

dave....... you wanna be my twin or something!!!! i just brought my wheels to a shop yesturday to see how much it would cost to make the center section black. it's only gunna cost $60 per rim. at least i can make them liable if anything goes wrong in the process.

i would leave your silver, .

those are not volks..... you liar!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png
