WTB Wheels for '96 850 columba

Post by HeyBikey »

Are you cleaning out the garage? I am looking for 16" columba or whatever else is the same size in the SF bay area for pick-up. I'm going to paint my wheels and want to be able keep from putting the car up on jack stands for days and days. I don't need tires, they don't have to be pretty, they do have to be round. :D Want to lend them? let's chat. Thanks!

Hi gang, got the wheels done. The paint is Duplicolor Graphite wheel coating with clear coat backed up with a self etching auto primer and like 12 hours of prep work. I chose the duplicolor because it cured harder than mix and match rustoleum, although I liked the satin nickel color a bit better.

Hey Bikey, would you do a write up with materials.
Here is how it looks... a tire shop stole my nice rim and placed this one on passenger side, beware.
