They are HRE C20's that I bought off a vette forum member that were race wheels. They are the lightest wheel that I have ever felt. They were in bad shape and actually had been spray painted flat black. The past couple weeks I have torn them down and am almost done with them and wanted to share my progress. Lots of pics.
apart and starting to strip
swapping my lights and repainting my bumper while the car is apart
started bare and worked my arm off!
sealed and torqued to 22 ft/lbs
started with aircraft stripper and then a ton of set sanding, 600/800/100/1200/1500/2000 and then clay on a cotton wheel, then mother aluminum polish on a ball and then one more really hard by hand and then 3 coats of wax to seal
. yeah my arm is killing me and I am only done with the rears!
18x13 rear with a 345/35/18 M&H Drag radial and 285 nittos up front. Will be on the car next week with RPI carbon front splitter and side skirts, the black lights, and harnesses and shark bar!! will keep it updated!
