| I tried spraying clear over the hammered silver and it wrinkled! Not for sale anyway, they're going on my square! It only takes 1/2 hour to sandblast and repaint. |

| Yeah, I was just showing you what to look for. They were chromed originally. Looked much better with just "hammered silver" Rust-Oleum. $120 to have them redrilled for 4X130mm. |

I notice the outer holes are right in line with the gaps in the saw tooth.
Might have cracking issues when you torque the lugs down.
Something to keep an eye on.

I've only gotten 1 sandblasted. It seems like it's either wet/raining/about to rain here in OR! Gotta scrape up funds for tubes/tires. I'm gonna change my avatar when I'm done!  |

I picked up an old 185X60X14 and mounted it to check for fit on my square. It seemed to fit fine on front and rear. Looks like I can lower it a little more front and rear. Plan on getting the sandblaster fired up and finishing the sandblasting/painting soon!  |
