  • Something I have been trying to decide on since starting the project was wheels. Decision has been made and in this episode we set about refurbishing them ourselves. DIY Refurbished a few sets of cast wheels but never splits so this one was fun.

    When I saw the wheels first, I was like no thats not going to work, but after you painted them they look so good, they look really nice and really are going to pop on the MK1

    I've just picked some 19" 9j BBS Speedlines up, for my Audi A5. I'm just about to have the faces cut flat, then I'll be starting the refurb. A few of the bolt holes need Helicoiling. Mind you, after watching this, they'll 110% be satin.

    They look tasty. I've a similar set in 4x100 on my r53 in all black. I considered keeping for my MK1. Not smooth like those though. They've an extra ridge detail on each spoke.

    Those wheel look mint Dan you've done a fantastic job getting them to look like they do now and the colour is spot on mate. Just one thing, I don't know what sort of clearcoat you used but on the edge of the wheel where it's mirror polished you need to use DTM clearcoat as normal clear will not adhere to the bare alloy, you may have used it but I thought it worth a mention 👌🙏👍

    Have you tried heating the bolts on the wheel they a couple snapped on? I had similar bbs’s refurbed and they said they throw them in the oven first to burn any loctite off. 1 snapped anyway and they used an engineering shop to drill it and helicoil it

  • @orlandobarron6557
    @orlandobarron6557 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    BBS RX2 are great looking wheels, the biggest issue with them is they are very greedy on space inside the rim, limiting choices of bigger brakes.
    These were also fitted to Mk3 Golf anniversary - but wider.
    Classy colour combination, I trust you will be adding lacquer the polished lip?

  • @paulvanerp4260
    @paulvanerp4260 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    that looks slick, well done. but if you did not go original then I still think the ATS cup is the most beautiful for the mk1. nevertheless, beautifully done. I wonder how they stand.
    keep up the good work. greets from holland
