Rostyle Wheel Resto

Post by Stealth »

The old wheels that i have had on the bus for ever have been taken off the bus and given some love by the wheel guys, they split them flipped the rims, re rolled, straightened and chrome plated.
Now i masked them up for some re painting before getting new rubber and back on the bus.

More pics when i get them on the bus.

Cheers

What do you recommend?

I will have to get new tyres, so what was the consensus from the yanks?

I agree warb, but the inner wheel nut area chrome is too hard for them to polish as to get a shinny chrome finish. I nearly didn't paint them but I knew I wouldn't be happy with the polished chrome and the dull chrome together.

More of the same I guess, 165/45's seem to be very popular on the slammed busses, I'll ditch my 175/50's for some thin rubber, I want to go lower.
