Looks awesome! Glad everything worked out. The guys at the shop are a little sketchy looking but all the work I have seen that they have done looks great.

The result looks great! Chris, did you discuss the bolt reuse stretching debate with the refinisher?

I did ask if they thought there would be any issues with reusing the bolts. They said they would inspect and determine if any bolts should be replaced due to corrosion, etc. or if any bolts appeared stressed but I did not specifically get into any extended conversations about reuse stretching. This place does a lot of multi-piece wheel restoration so I figured they knew what they were doing. Fortunately, none of the bolts needed replacing. There was no evidence of bolt rust on the front or backside that I could see prior to disassembly aside from the bolt heads looking pretty crappy. I called Wheel Enhancement in LA and they wouldn't even touch 993 targa wheels. I also called Harvey Weidman's place and they they were willing but had a 9 month backlog of work. Wheel Techniques staff weren't the least bit concerned about being able to restore the 993 targa wheels. It did take them about 3 weeks to complete the work but I also told them I was in no rush.

It looks perfect; nice work!

Chris, if I'm not wrong, there is a gasket between the inner and the outer sections. Did you replace it or did you re-use the one that was originally installed?

Do you know the torque value used to screw to the bolts?
