Good work,

Those rims must have taken some time!

I love the deeper rims, I'm a bit partial to polished aluminum and black paint rims.


Re: wet sanding rims in first gear, just be careful and don't try to stick your arm or leg under the tire.


I redid the rims on the Fairlane a few weeks ago when I got new 50 series tires. The car now sits 49mm lower in the rear and 24mm lower in the front then before.
