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.. picture of the 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. |
