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 Rolleyes


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 Big Grin 

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 Rolleyes

I meant penta, my bad haha. I think it would be pretty cool to color match the spokes to the paint color
