Good work,

Those rims must have taken some time!

I love the deeper rims, I'm a bit partial to polished aluminum and black paint rims.

Re: wet sanding rims in first gear, just be careful and don't try to stick your arm or leg under the tire.

I redid the rims on the Fairlane a few weeks ago when I got new 50 series tires. The car now sits 49mm lower in the rear and 24mm lower in the front then before.

I got these Mini-mags from Coeleacanth in a trade recently. (Thanks Marc!) I've worked on one wheel off and on just to see how nice I could make them. I deliberately chose the worst one. I told Marc I'd post a pic when I got one done. Also finally...
