Title: i'm in love.............. with my mike buff z rims
Post by: glenboy on October 06, 2010, 01:21 AM
well maybe in love was too far but i really like em,,always been after a set of these but always just missed out and just by chance got these, just started cleaning them up i like em as they have orig hubs and decent original survivor nick, cleaning them i have found is a matter of elbow grease i always thought they were white but they are a sort of ivory cream, just need a wacky frame and forks now to justify these

I got an identical set here.  had the rims in bleach for about 6 weeks.. and you're right, they aint white.  I got some normal z rim decals so i gotta fill in the mike buff sig myself somehow  :-\

I've done nothing for the last few months.  I ordered the spokes yesterday and the hubs are about to go off to be powdered.  Del sorted me out with the normal z rim decals but not the signature ... its deeper anyway so am just gonna get a fine pen and try get it right  :P
