From Junk To Gems!

Instead of throwing away these wheels I took off one of my runners that was beat up pretty badly I decided to give them a second chance. I started by stripping the chrome, fixing the cracks with bond, sanded everything down smooth, then hit them with some fresh paint, polish, and new tires. I threw them on the punisher blitzer, and I must say I like the way they turned out. These last minute pics are not the best quality as I was tired from working a double last night. I will take some better ones later, but you get the idea.

Nice job on that looks nearly new.
I have much more enjoyment getting a terrible looking piece to look nice than opening a new in package part.
