Well it seems like the rim fiasco continues.......The shop restored them initially and once I placed them on the car and tightened the acorns the paint cracked and chipped off....The main culprit was they left the spray filler in the openings and when the nut grabbed that was all she wrote.....So called the shop and brought them back....They had to redo the faces and I got them back and placed them on with no problems....
So while working on the hoses today something looked funny on the passenger rim.....Looked like thick dust all over it...Grabbed a rag and wiped it and no effect....My heart sank....Rubbed my hand on it and it was a ripple effect. All four rims exhibited this....Ruined my day to say the least....I grabbed a rags and some denatured alcohol and rubbed and area and the dang rag was black, no kidding....
Now I am in Ohio and the flipping shop is in Texas.....However, there is no 3rd time charm here.....You botch it up twice and I am done......
Now I have to dismount the tires again......Then gets the rims redone..........
Honestly, I love the steelies but I wish it had magnums right now......
Stay tuned more to come in relation to the rim saga......
Ohh and I will contact the shop in Texas.......

When you finish it, are there any plans to do another car?
