gold wheel thread

[94warpig]

Are the rear gold wheels with the rolled beads hard to find as well?

 

[88WarriorBoy]

not really but there are not alot of gold wheels floatin around to begin with

 

[94warpig]

Just got a set of damn near mint rears with tires I bought. I was planning on painting them..

 

[88WarriorBoy]

they gold ?

 

[94warpig]

Yup, in all there gold glory

 

[88WarriorBoy]

dang lol I got gold rears and i painted them black but couldnt find gold fronts at the time

 

[94warpig]

I think they are actually from a banshee

Actually nice gold wheels can go for more than silvers lately especially if their the rolled bead most arent. I sold a set of non rolled bead golds that had a couple bends on ebay for 110

 

[94warpig]

Sooo I shouldn't paint the ones I just got? Bummer

 

[88WarriorBoy]

you can if you want lol I'm just sayin

 

[94warpig]

Well if I can get some good $ for em I might sell em and paint my stockers. LOL

My dad was about to spray them when i gave him a quick one upside the head just wish i was there to do that when he cut up and scrapped my spare frame

 

[88WarriorBoy]

well I didnt scuff mine up much so if i really wanted the gold back I could use paint thinner and get it back

 

[94warpig]

What you think they are worth?

I'm gonna buy some new ITP T-9's, and have them anodized gold.
It doesn't cost much. But you have to strip the clear coat off them somehow?

 

[88WarriorBoy]

scuff'em up real good

scuff'em up real good

The guy at electroplating in town said it can't have anything on it at all. It has to be bare metal.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

and did he suggest how to get them down to bare metal without scuffing the **** out of them?

 

[88WarriorBoy]

Sand blast em

 

[YAMAHAULER]

sand will pit the aluminum
Maybe walnut shells???
