Occationally my heart rules my head and this was one of these occations :? I managed to get hold of a set of genuinely rare WORK CR-01 wheels same as mine. Only problem is they are curbed damaged and even bent so ive got my work cut out. Here's some thats been refurbed in red.
And a few sets in original silver.
And of course mine that i refurbed in black :wink:
Here's the kinda damage i'm dealing with. Horrible chunks outa the rim
After i had dissembled them they looked like this.
Here you can see the silver coatings all but come off, but what colour to refurb them in.........????? :wink:
First the curbed bent lips needed attention so i found this firm locally.
http://www.starweld.co.uk/ They were able to straighten and weld the damage up and then grind it back down. Picked them up today.
Looking a bit better but there's still scratches/marks to deal with so the next step is to decide on the finish. It appear that the set on my car have been refurbed in the past as those lips have been diamond cut but these haven't. Another alternative is just to get and polish them or even powdercoated lips. Not sure yet but i'll keep you updated. 8)
