Splitrims Refurb

Will be taking my car to Ibrars in a couple of hours to take my splitrims off and replace with my oe rims to keep the car mobile, not looking forward to driving it home with them on as it'll look awfull.

Then its stripping time for the splitrims, cant decide on keeping the centers silver or doing them black.

Will take a few photo's as we go

heres some pics of them just split and after chemical strip and aqua blasting

Looking very good, are you going to do a full write up on the process. I will be looking at getting mine finsihed off soon as i need new tyres so would be intrested to know.

Also what are you going to protect them with afterwards?
