New Wheels!

[gbmidyear66]

My major upgrade for this year - just completed redoing my wheels. Had the OE wheels refinished, new Nitto Extreme's, new center caps.

I had 20 years of minor (but accumulated) curb rash, clear coat had yellowed, 10 year old rubber, caps were pitted.

If you are looking at refinishing a machined wheels - you really need to do your homework on the refinisher. I'm not overly thrilled with the result on the fronts. From a foot away they look great - but up close they look like they have water spots on them. After a lot of discussion with multiple refinishers - it seems this can happen if the diamond tool for the CNC is either too new/sharp, or too dull, or can happen if the clearcoat is not applied properly. Fortunately my rear wheels look great and if I can't live with the fronts - I know I can pick an OEM pair reasonable - and now know where to take them to get them done right.
