road america alloy wheels sent away

[Steve Smith]

I always knew they wheels were letting the car down a little when i bought the car but i never realised just how bad until the other day. I noticed the tyre looked flat so changed it expecting a puncture. There was no puncture though instead there is really bad corrosion on the bead letting air escape.

That was it refub time. Yesterday i took the wheels off to drop off at the powder coaters today.

Here are some pics of how bad the wheels are. Only took a pic of one wheel as they are all the same. Smarteded up the brakes at the same time while the wheels were off too.





Lets see how it goes, they are being stripped, blasted and powder coated sparkle silver so should be slightly brighter than stock.
