reviving stock rims! tips? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #64701 6 posts Started by Salica
Hello,

I really enjoy the look of the stock celica rims. Sadly my rims came pretty stained and lightly banged up. I was thinking of painting the rims but before i do that i wanted to see if anyone has ever revived their stock rims and i was wondering what you guys did.

i believe they are stock 97 GT rims..

Should be able to help out with a 'how to' on refurbing rims in about 2/3 weeks time.
I bought some late spec OEM GT4 rims which were a bit tired and kerbed.
Friend of mine did his rims and they came out superb.
So I gave him mine to do....he's in the process of refurbing them at the moment.
He's going to do a write up of what he did, along with before and after photos.
I'll post here when I have the info.
