What is that Machine you used to spin the wheel? Got to do my younger brothers whole set and mine and my uncles😔 and don’t have anything to spin them on
We performed the same task to a set of Carlsson 2/6's for our C43 AMG which debuted at Radwood Austin a few months ago. Unfortunately, most of the sanding by hand which has yielded me a wrist injury. Next set of wheels to refinish will be a set of OZ Operas, and a set of BBS E88's. I hope to have some better tools handy for these other sets.
when i did my rc090s i did pretty much the same thing you did, except buffing with the drill and wheel - you did it dry with compound. I lubricated the buff pad. i think wd40 would work but at the time i beleive i used miineral spirits, and kept the buff pad wet, and it polished about 10x faster.
First thing on my mind when you started final polishing was why don't you spin the wheel and polish the lip by microfibre towel and the metal polishes you have. Much faster and more accurate than drill and wool disc. But the final result is nice anyway :)
For those wanting to do this home, but quality sandpaper. It's heaps better and costs less. Soak the paper before you start in a bucket of soapy water and really wet the surface to stop getting the brushed look, and don't use your dirty old buffing wheel to polish. Different polishes require different grade of foam waffle pads. It will speed up your entire process
ive just been doing some 3sdm 0.05s, they were pretty bad but got a good finish on them in the end. i started with 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 . then i used polishing compound similar to g3 , after that i used a wheel on them. ive got to seal them now but unsure on what to use. do i clear coat? or do i just use a sealant? ........ if i use a cleat coat and chip it, then they start to worm ect ill have to redo them as well as stripping the clear off them.
Great job polishing the rear lips, can you please tell me where you got the front lips? I am the process of rebuilding a set of RC090 myself. Thank you very much and keep it the great work!
I'm a sucker for all black wheels. Not everyone's style, but I took my rc090s to get completely powder coated in gloss black. The place charges under $200 a set and I only have $240 in the wheels so far. Gonna run them normal on my e28 for a little while, then flip them and widen the rears like you're doing when budget allows. Gotta have something wide in the rear to handle hx40 m30 power! What are you doing about wheel hardware? Your original bolts won't be long enough and 32mm m7 wheel hardware is stupid expensive.
EuroGarage no doubt you did good work but if anything the way you sanded was more dangerous the polishing unless you put 2or3 of the hardware in to hold face in
Dude labor of love and patience of a saint🙌🏽🔝💯

CRC is your friend with aluminium. Good outcome none the less.
Wow, awesome work dude!
Looking good man! Excited to see how they turn out

Curious, how did you mount the wheel to what was spinning them?!
Unfortunately that is his secret...
Beginning of part 2 he shows and explains

Coming out good!
Hi, the lips need clear coat after polish ?
Amazing brother!!
can you do a video of your jig?

What is the machinist doing to your centers ?
Can you make a video where you show how you built the spinning machine?
i was hoping to see that or know what motor/engine he used
I'm also interested l
Will rs lip fit on it?
any idea where to buy lips which will fit to Rial Daytona Racing Wheels in 22'' size, lip should have 35 holes ?? by the way amazing work...
Why'd you have to machine the centers? Are they not perfectly flat already in the back to mount to the barrels?
Great video man, just a question how did u mount a lip to a center without bolts ?
The lips look great man! I can't imagine how annoying it must have been to do that part of the barrels.
It was very slow and I am glad it is done.

how did you make this polishing wheel? the machine you have the wheel mounted to?
Hi, i have same wheels like yours and want to make somethik like you done. There is one question, whitch kinde of lips you are using?
You gotta keep that sandpaper wet dont let it dry out .. maybe that's why it took so long
Great job polishing the rear lips, can you please tell me where you got the front lips? I am the process of rebuilding a set of RC090 myself. Thank you very much and keep it the great work!
Will Guevara I did mention it at the end. But they are from Elhrich wheel works!
Thank you, that's what I thought but I couldn't quite hear it clearly.
Can you provide details on how you setup the wheel polishing machine? They look fab
Bertolino, Marco okay. I can make a quick upload.
Cant find any upload about this?
Gahh daaaym they lookin baller!
I just finished a set of RC090's and it took just as long with the sanding and polishing
tyler b On a 2” lip right? These are 6”.
What did you put on the wheel? Black emory compound?
Im thinking of doing thr same thing
Happy birthday
i could of done with a jig like yours lol. did you make it?
Amazing work, where did you buy the rc090 exterior lips?
hey where did you buy the smaller lips i cant find anything. i want to do this with a set of bbs style 19s
Super boulot mais il va manquer une jante car vous avez que trois voile pour créé 3 jantes.
What motor are you using to spin the wheel?
Cool
Where did you buy the front lips? And you did an amazing job polishing the rears holy shit
Hey can you give me some details on how you set up your jig? I need to get something like this going!
a hub of car that fits wheel, 3dprint adadpter for the motor that have axle splines 1 side, and motorhub the other, pretty simple
Where can i get barrels?
Im looking into that as well.
Side note, typically gloves would be a no-no on rotating machinery
With sanding aluminum you should definitely be wearing a respirator or mask
do 17" bbs rs lips fit rc's
I have 8 inch rears and 7 inch front🙃😖

Where did you pick up the front lips from? I plan on rebuilding my set of style 5’s, tired of seeing 2.5” lips
In the video he says “Ehrlich Wheel Works”
Did you say you can convert a 2 piece to an 3 piece. I have a set of BBS IMPUL is this possible?
Tino Hall look up Chamorroboy86 on Instagram
Why not use the rotation of the power wheel and polish it as it spins I’ve done it on all my builds and it leaves the lips super chrome
Jesse James safety and Repeatability, plus I’m not sitting on the ground.
EuroGarage no doubt you did good work but if anything the way you sanded was more dangerous the polishing unless you put 2or3 of the hardware in to hold face in
I usally just jack up my car and put it in gear and let the whee do all the work
how much
I noticed you haven’t answered anybody back asking where you bought the lips from. Help us out lol
+ Fusso coat !
