My rims - Keino - 02-03-2016
Hi people!
Im slightly addicted to rims fitting older Mercedes chassies.
I thought it would be fun to show some picture of sets I've bought and restored
First up is my first rim project ever. Bought them in a nice condition powdercoated + clearcoat.
Left to do was to polish the lip. At this time I did everything by hand, no machines used at all. Took alot of time and beers
Ronal pentas 16x9 et 13 rear 16x7 et 23 front
Looked like this when I bought them

Done polishing.

One year later or so I got myself some better polishing compounds, Got a bit shinier

Thank you!
Yeah it was actually fun with something new
Silver is very...standard. (They are not made by ronal however 
) Currently working on compomotive rims very similar the the msw rims. Will post some pictures when done.
RE: My rims - MFSuper90 - 02-23-2016
I meant penta, my bad haha. I think it would be pretty cool to color match the spokes to the paint color
