Rota Fox in Diamond Blue

As we all know the selection of great tires in 15" sizes is almost non existent. I wanted to be able to have a better selection of tires and more rubber on the road without breaking the bank. Another decision was to stay as close to the look that I already had with color matching wheels that were part of the 1988 Commemorative Edition package. This is what I started with




I started with the Rota primed wheels. I used aircraft stripper to remove the primer to get ready to polish the lips.




The stripper is very nasty stuff



This is the results of the stripper. Ready to be polished.




Just back from the polisher. Had to be sanded to remove the machine polish.








And they are back from the painter. Need to wait for the paint to cure for a few more days before mounting the tires. Couldn't be happier the way they turned out. Will have pictures later in the week with them on the car.
