Title: Z RIMS
Post by: rad dad on May 07, 2006, 06:17 PM

Is it possible to restore these rims to as new condition and replace the white lettering to the sides?

Cant remember what they were made of...some kind of plagy so restoring them is probably a nono

anyone got any sensible tips  :daumenhoch:
