Wheels before and after

Here's a handful of shots showing the progression of the wheels from rusty and grimy to freshly rebuilt and powder-coated.

I laced the rims myself taking advantage of the Fong Bros fantastic tutorial, with the truing and tyre mounting taking place tomorrow via a pro shop.

I also plan on getting the axles, nuts, rear sprocket and bolts black nickel plated.

  1. That's what you call "the transformers!" LOL! Really, though, anyone who sees the post-product would think that those are brand new wheels with new powder coating. There’s absolutely no trace of how it looked before! Great work! :)
