Restored wheels

Just wanted to show you guys my newly restored wheels. These are the CD30s I picked up in Florida last year. I had them powdercoated at a local shop but I wasn't happy with the results, so I took them to another guy who sanded out the imperfectons, powdercoated them with silver and clear. I'm really pleased with them now!

Wow, I noticed that I really need to work on those calipers.

Are they originals (magnesium) or aftemarket alloy (aluminum) ? The look great...the rims, not the calipers.

Awesome! I've always loved that wheel!

They look great Denise. Let's see a shot of the car.

Your wheels turned out very nice. Makes me want to have mine re-done. Did you go with the 205-60s?

They are the original CD-30 Abarth Cromadora magnesium wheels. They measure 5.5 x 13 so 185/60/13s fit just right. It's on the X19 so you don't have much room for anything wider. In fact, these scrub a little when locking the steering wheel a full left or right. I knew this before I bought them though. I figured something will eventually wear down.

I'll get pics of the whole car today. This pic was taken at night with no lights. Came out pretty good with just a flash, didn't it?

That's the problem with really nice wheels - you start to notice all the other cosmetic imperfections that you were able to blissfully ignore before! They look good. Nice work.

they look great, but now those calipers need some serious upgrading!

I'll buy a rattle can of red or something to spiff em up a bit.

Clean them up a bit and put some red krinkle on them. Then I'm sure you'll see something else to do, and then something else, and then something else......

It's a vicious cycle, isn't it Jeff? One I get caught in all the time.

Funny how those little weekend projects turn into full restorations!
