Idrees Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Started sanding one down as you can see.Going to get cracking with them tomorrow! I'll update with pics when done! Quote
jon5698 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 very nice mate, if i knew he would have posted them i would have bidded on them myself. What colour you doing them? Quote
Idrees Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 White Sorry i outbid you! (Not really ) Quote
jon5698 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 They should look good in white, still happy with mine so not all bad Quote
Idrees Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 Yeah mate your wheels are much better than these! These wouldn't suit a GT in my opinion.They're not for our SR anyway, check the members others ride section.. Quote
jon5698 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I think i was just after any sort of alloys at that point to get rid of the shitty standard ones lol Quote
oli_h Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 jealous mate, step out of the white band go with some thing different, how much did you get them for and how much was posting Quote
Sparky Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 They are going too look sweet!!!Imagine them in white with the 2 little lips sprayed black on your SR Idrees Quote
rob_bower Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 i know some one with a spare set of speedlines just a shame hes not selling!!! Quote
Idrees Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks for comments, i'm thinking about red lip...Sanded one wheel down today i'll be going back to the garage in a while to get them all sanded! Paint stripper is SHIT! Quote
jon5698 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Can you not get them sand blasted? would save a lot of time. Quote
Idrees Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 Thats exactly what i've been thinking mate but didn't bother taking that route.I'll do that definitely next time though its like £15 a rim.P.S Got another set of Speedlines for our SR Quote
jon5698 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 would it not work out cheaper to buy a small air compressor and a sandblasting gun? you can pick the compressors up for £50 £15 per wheel aint bad if you think how long in man hours it will take to sand by hand.You are just being greedy with the speedlines now lol Quote
Sparky Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 P.S Got another set of Speedlines for our SR Good good so you like my idea in my first post??? Quote
Idrees Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Haha!!Two little Black lips? Surely something different... i'm going to do it! Quote
Sparky Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Haha!!Two little Black lips? Surely something different... i'm going to do it!Good man, i like your style Quote
rob_bower Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Try nitromors. It worked for me and was on offer in B&Q!!! It took the original paint off and anything I'd sprayed on!!! Quote
Idrees Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Nitromors works on the spokes but it doesnt do much on between the spokes and little edges!I'm going to try with a toothbrush or something though.. Quote
Idrees Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Yeh Si, they are gonna be if i can be arsed with them!School gym net school gym net school gym net!!! Don't get time for them! Hopefully on the weekend!!! Quote
Idrees Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 Got one stripped and primed. Taken ages to get it perfectly smooth when i was taking the paint off though so i'm going to hopefully get my cousin to take them down for shot blasting tomorrow! Quote
rob_bower Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Nitromors works on the spokes but it doesnt do much on between the spokes and little edges!I'm going to try with a toothbrush or something though..Yea it can be a bit fiddly. wire wool soaked in nitromors works a treat though. just make sure you wear gloves and give it a good scrub.i only used nitromors so i could mend the lips after and it was cheap!!!!

Idrees Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Hmm i found sanding them easier then using stripperWell my cousin the lazy bugger hasnt been round to collect the wheels so i think im just gonna have to bloody sand them all!Feck it, i'll just charge him for that!! Quote
