FS: 16" GS/LS Rims *FAIR CONDITION*

PNJNYC · 09-27-03, 07:02 PM

for sale:

16" GS/LS Rims. bought them from platinumsoundz who used to be on this forum. had them on my car for about 6-8 months. not bent but has rash. when i bought them, i wanted to chrome them but never got around to it, now im just bored with them. tires are no good and need to be changed but i do have an extra one that has 90% tread. no pics yet but if theres any real interest, i'll get them.

im asking $600 shipped with or without the 5 tires. im also up for a trade+cash but they have to be plug and play and come with tires because i dont have time to bore or make any adjustments for fitment.

this offer will be up on the forum for 2 weeks (9/28/03-10/12/03) after which it will be going to ebay.

For anyone who has a little time, I bought some GS with corrosion and rash off ebay and refinished 'em. They look great - I can do a DIY - or you can search on the net.

Just waiting til the old rubber wears out, but if you want GS rims, you can get the rash out!!

OK Smitty, I would like to see your DIY. You can post it here or PM me.

Thanks

Smitty94LS · 09-29-03, 03:20 PM

I can send pics if you want to see them - I haven't figured out how to post them here.

The short version of the DIY:

- Strip the clearcoat off the wheels - any good paint stripper will do.
- Wash the wheels really good so all that stripper stuff is gone
- Use an Orbital Sander - 320 grit paper and sand the wheels until all the rash, corrosion, etc. is gone.
- Hand sand with increasingly fine grits of paper - 400, 600, 1000, 1200, 1500

Now comes the choice - either etch the wheels and re-clearcoat or do what I did - I'm going for very shiny, but not a chromed, look

- Buff with 3M Perfect It Rubbing Compound - use your electric drill and a buffing wheel
- Polish with Mothers Aluminim / Mag Polish

You should be able to see yourself in the (almost) mirror-like shine on the wheels. Last, I used a basic Clearcoat polish to clean up the center caps.

I'll do a better one of these later - and let me know if you wanna see some pics, I can email em, and if I have some time - and can figure out how to post them here - I will.
