Got some new project rims. CRX Si "phone dials"
It was an impulse buy. I shouldn't have. They're OEM Honda CRX Si "phone dials" (so-called because they look like an old school rotary phone). They came on USDM 86-87 CRX Si's ONLY so they're kinda rare. But ugly! (butt ugly O.o?) They're so ugly that I kinda like them. Hence the impulse buy.
The tires are dry rotted garbage so I might set them on fire. They can't even go on the car once. I won't allow it.
I started scrubbing with some simple green and a nice scrubbing sponge. Then I had to move on to sandpaper. Ugh, these were awful.
Face after:
Back side before:
After a little love with the sandpaper:
No more pics of the work so far. I may end up polishing these for use as beater rims. One of them is a little bent so I have to beat on it anyways. I'm out of cash as always so I don't wanna buy any more sandpaper.
