Default $32.00 Mustang rims off Ebay!



This might actually be the clean one! Notice the nice wheel lips! I so got burned on my $32 bucks!


Anyone want them? I didn't think so! So...............



A little work and......... Not too bad? I thought I'd try them and make sure the old man didn't lie about the bolt pattern! Oh man I would have been mad at this point!!!



Wheel I decided to try a few different things, seeing how I never tried taking trashed wheels and at least making them ok beater wheels! Why not right? I mean they were only $32 wheels from Ebay!



Rims have been mounted in some 235/60/14 Radial TA's which the size may end up being more perfect for the front as they don't fill the rear wheel wells like I'd prefer!


Never did get all 4 mounted up before someone offered to buy them!!!!

Sold'em all, then bought my current rims for $100 more than what I sold the 14's for. Going from 14's to 17's for $132, some paint, a whole lotta elbow grease, Priceless.

I bet old rims like these are thrown away all the time! If you saw them in person, you would have though, oh those are junk... But they weren't cracked and they ran true on the balancing machine. When I saw and bought them they were going to the dump the next weekend! The fronts were universal EJ's!

Is that rattle can paint or is it powder coat?
I am thinking about doing that to my wheels
