My Lorinsers cleaned up... - MBClub UK

I thought I would have a go at giving the lorinsers on the SEC a bit of a refurb as I will be selling it soon.
The wheels were pitted and had started to corrode, they wouldn't come clean with wheel cleaner and elbow grease. I started with a mop in the drill but that didn't really work, so I ended up using 800 wet and dry took about an hour, as usual here is some before and after pics...

I have only done one tonight and it could do with a final polish but not bad for first attempt...

I might even put them on the CE..

Looks good, try using autosol on them as a final polish. I assume they are now down to the metal?
With fitting them on the CE, im certain they will be the wrong offset, most probably et11, and will stick out too far.

Cheers, I don't think they had laquer on anyway, if there was it had all come off before I started, and I think your right about the offset, I am in no rush to change the rims on the CE I just like deep dish Rims...
