Strip the axles/bearings out of them and send them to SBD  :daumenhoch:

The ones pictures below were pretty grubby before dan got his hands on them  ;)

Very tasty, is the acs z rim writing a decal ?? Mine is a sticker that wont survive removal and are the rims nos or restored??

The white rims in my picture are NOS so the decals are original.

This idea on ebay is better than the stickers you get for the rims (and cheaper!)

i bought some of these stencils and to be honest they were sh1t. they're really hard to stick down and the paint gets under the stencil making it look like a blob, i then had to clean the paint off and re-dye the wheels and then buy the stickers.. a right pain in the arse. hope this helps
