Then i had the bright idea of painting the rims for that hotrod look !!
everyone said it wouldnt work on top of the chrome but they were baddly pitted so i thought "what the heck" and gave it a go !!!
i took all the spokes out to paint
sanded down the chrome
primmered and resprayed red
re spokeing and trueing the repainted wheels was a nightmere :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
