Default My CS wheels looks like new again! :)

I spend all day to the wheel repair shop but it worth it!
We also cut 1mm from insite the wheels in order to clean them from any powder coat remains!
Now they looks as good as new again!

Very nice job ! Those are wonderful wheels. I have often wondered what size they are. Are they 16 x 7 and 16 x 8 ? In any case they are very sharp looking.

Very nice. I guess you could run a 245 up front if you wished. BTW, did you get the paint problem sorted out ?

They look great Lefteris,
I have a set in the garage that needs a similar treatment.

Check rimpro.com, I've used them for repairs and they claim to have top-tier restoration services.

I had my phone dials restored by a place in...Cambridge maybe? Good job, powdercoat under clear coat. I'll see if I have any addt'l info on them, but I just found them via a web search. They listed a number of resto clubs and projects on their credits.

I have 225 at front and 245 at the rear (standard CS/S4/GT sizes) and works fine, if you wont your 928 for wet/dry road use, those sizes are perfect.
I will go for a new paint only on the hood at the end of the next week so I will post an update for this in the next weekend!

Sorry for you Lefteris,
I have the sensors on my wheels too, how did they remove them without damaging them?

Hello Peter
I remove them by myself and because I was sure that they will have a problem with this I bring my tools along
First I WD-40 them the night before and then I use those tools, they came off easy.
I give them new O rings and told them to place them back the way they was but as I use to say, if you wont something to be made correct, you better do it yourself... and I was right, my bad that I don't check them when I was still there...!



Regards
Lefteris
