So I finally got the chance to buy some OEM porsche twist 18x7.5 and 18x10 for a good deal but....there was a twist. :sly:
only one of the rims can in good condition....the other three were crap.
(Here is the one that was in decent condition)
(Here are the rest that had curb damage on the sides)
But LOOK at this one
I was like...what the heck happen to this wheel.
The gashes it had were almost 1/2 inch deap and where like 1in in length. (sorry for the crappy Picture)
So I got to work and started fixing them.
1st. i bought all the supplies (bondo, wurth paint and clear coat, and the sandpaper [400-1000])
2nd. I busted my butt cleaning and cleaning and cleaning
3rd. I busted my butt sanding and sanding and sanding
4th. I took a break :laugh:
5th i applied bondo and.....sanded and sanded and sanded
and 6th
I enjoyed what I did..... Hope you likey
These have been sitting the the garage for a week now and all i am waiting for is for the adaptars to come in. Im runnign 25mm and 30mm
Mean while(untill next week when Im putting them on)... Im rocking my 16" that no one has bought.
Enjoy
They look great. Three out of my four twists show slight curb damage. I've been debating attempting to repair them myself vs. paying roughly $50 to $70 per wheel to have an expert do it. How hard was it? Mostly just elbow grease, or did it require more skills and knowledge?
Nice job on your wheels, plus you did it yourself....priceless. Nothing like standing back to take in all the prep work and painting to admire a job well done.
Terrific work! What kind of primer and paint did you use and where did you get it - did you go with a clear coat? Any recommendations on the bondo, or was that off the shelf Pep Boys stuff?
Very nice!

Sorry for the late responce...been really busying in school. But to answer you quesiton it was manly elbow grease
not skill... First time i ever did anything by myself on my car.
i would have to say about an entire day including prepping (having them clean) and giving them there first coat of paint..
The longest part is cleaning them and sanding...painting them is a peace of cake.
I bought the bondo from autozone. I did buy the paint (wurth) and clear coat from pelicanparts. Bondo isnt that bad and it should be the same that they sell in pep boys.
for what?? fixing some more?
