Singles Wheels Re-hab

[FSBruva]

Well, with spring FINALLY here in my part of Michigan, got some good weather to finish working on my wheels. They are M135 wheels, and were in pretty rotten shape when I got them. Now I think you'll see they look a heck of a lot better. I will be having them mounted with 11R20 Michelin XL's, a la Westech.

... that's wierd... when I previewed my post, the pics showed up in the right order... now they are reversed from the way I put them in.....

Sandblast or wire wheel them?

Angle grinder with wire wheel...

I was THIS close to buying a respirator to keep the rust dust from getting in my lungs/nose. I used the little dust masks, but I don't think they helped.

Use a respirator. The paint, primer and metal dust can't be good for your lungs.

Nice job, looking good! And send pics after having them installed.

Add your pics to the post in the order you want them to appear. When you preview the post they will appear backwards, but when you submit they will show up in the order you added them.

Now i know. It must be a recent fix that it re-orders the pics when you submit. I purposely put them in reverse order, because I thought they would display properly (like the preview) when I submitted. Oh well.

gringeltaube-
Don't worry, pics will be forthcoming, once I get home for another two days to get those tires mounted. Unfortunately, with the new tires and the great looking wheels - now the truck looks even MORE like a bucket of .... stuff. Oh well. One piece at a time....

They turned out well, I have to do mine on both trucks, I dont care for the sanding and grinding and dust etc. love to see that paint go on though. Need two extra M135 wheels?

 

[FSBruva]

Haha... no, but I know someone who does!

PM sent.
