a bit of cleanup on the wheels

Featured Replies

this stuff works pretty well:

it was more than I'd usually pay for mag polish but worth it.

I was actually going to just leave these wheels on my parts car when it eventually gets hauled away because I thought they were too far gone. After searching and not finding any 15" wheels that I liked enough to spend the money on I decided to try cleaning these up and just go with different 14" ones.

I know I got the polish on the tires but those aren't staying on the wheels. I plan to go with bridgestone RE960ASbs_potz_re960as_pole_ci2_s.jpg

Ahh! More Appliance Wire Mags, in your case the 14x7 version. I have two sets of the 14x6 size, am getting close to finished on my refurb of one of the two sets. Very much period-correct, a relatively common wheel for Zs back in the day.

Due to some previous owner-inflicted damage, I'm experimenting with painting the area around the lug nuts with various grays - similar to the tail trim color. The attached picture was taken a few weeks ago, the project is farther along now.

it was actually a picture of your car on here that inspired me to clean up the wheels.

I kept looking at it then at my wheels going "can they really look that good?"

Good eye on the size. For some reason I had thought mine were 6".
