yea, super nice man. makes me wonder how mine would come out if i did them...

CrazyIvan

I used a millenar technique from teh Ming dynasty known to only a few people b/c it is extremely difficult to learn and much more difficult to perform. I learned this technique about 5 years ago w/ master WANG while living at the mountain top of the alps of Nepal while studying BUDDHIST NINJA techniques for the modern world of automotive technology. I'll try to explain this to my best knowledge as this has never been pictured or heard of before (sorry master WANG, I had to... I got too many PM'd about this already). This technique involves showing the wheels the 5 hand signs.


LAY THE WHEEL TO BE WORKED ON THE FLOOR AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS.

1ST - say wassuuuuuuup while showing the wheel this hand sign


2ND - just show him you want this to end in peace


3RD - now tell him you dont give a shit about him


4TH - and if he doesnt cooperate you will Pw3n him



WARNING: When the 5th step is completed the world will crawl to a halt and darkness will come from the dephts of the abiss and all will be black for a few seconds. I EXTREMELY encourage you take the last step in your bedroom just like I did so you can hide under your bed when darkness falls.

5TH - show the wheel this sign and run away.


For those of you who dont believe me here is a pic of the darkness living my place:


By the time you come back your bolts/nuts should be either off the wheels (if you're disassembling) or ON the wheels (if you're assembling). If the technique doesnt work just use your sticky fingers to hold the bolt heads like I did hahahaha I also did not use anything to re-seal the center of the wheel, w/ this many bolts I dont think it'll be a problem. I did however use loctite like someone mentioned. HHAHAHA

Sorry I was bored ass hell guys

OMG you are my hero. I was planning to resurface and paint my Super Advans that same gold color. God those are fuckin sexy. And just when I was getting bored with my wheels...

Maximamike

I can't get the damn bolts off my wheels. Grr..

The Island

O BTW, what size and offset are your Advans?

mrmephistopheles

Pretty much.
After looking at that 'particular' thread which caused so much drama, I realized that I called a 'someone' an ATTN:whore. Since namecalling is what got so many people pinked, I felt it'd only be appropriate for me to be pinked too, so I asked RJF to pink me.
I don't want to drag this thread any further OT so I'll ask that you PM me (when my pinking is up) or IM me.

So...did you actually clear the lips after you refinished them, or did you leave them raw and just intend to maintain them over time? BTW, looks wayyyyy sick!

CrazyIvan

Did NOT use clear on the lips, that i'll fade over time and wont looks as good. Some people told me to throw some wax on top of the polish to help maintain the shine but I havent done that yet...

hmm, interesting thread.. i have a set of 2pc wheels, the centers look good to me and i dont intend on coating them as i already have matching touch up paint.. one stem is missing and i'd like to refinish the lips for sure to new condition. If i just take the rivets off, save all the bolts and etc.. clean up the face, etc.. then when i get the wheel+lip back from the wheel place i want to take it to, they should have no probs going back on there? tourqe down and loctite in even order.. reason i ask this, everyone keeps saying that the integrity of the wheel is affected if its taken apart and it will never be the same afterwards..doesnt quite make sense as even with most expensive aftermarket wheels that get bent, repair is available.. i'm sure they are taking them apart to fix them.. btw, the lips are not polished but just clear aluminum.. not shiny.. thats the finish i'm looking for.. just to keep the wheel OEM.
