Bradan 355 wheel refinishing.

Looks like someone used them for a friendly game of horseshoes. On pavement.

 

Why does one wheel look more white in color?

 

Looks pre Dow 7 coating

Using a conversion coating like this is the only way to paint these wheels properly

Nice jog guys.

 

The owner will not believe that these are the same wheels.

Great work!

 

Did these wheels come off of a car that was involved in a fire?

 

Great work !!!!

Out of curiosity... I remember that Euro F355 wheels were magnesium... Where these wheels magnesium or aluminium alloy ???

Thanks !

Keep up the great repair / service posts !!!

 

Nice work.

 

Cost vs. New ....I am sure I am not the only one thinking this.....

 

This is a great thread which shows the work required to restore these mag wheels properly.

Learning more about these cars each day and lovin these step by step photo guides.

Would love to know the cost of this process vs new wheels if you're happy to share.

Cheers.

 

Magnesium

 

I dont believe there is much Magnesium in the stock wheels. Much higher content in the challenge wheels which is the reason they are much lighter.

 

From mechanical to paint, you guys do some nice work. I'm planning to send calipers your way for paint - please post an update to that thread

 

Could be wrong but my manual just says they are magnesium. I believe challenge wheels are lighter because the do not have to meet dot regs.

 

The wheels look great. What is the paint code that you are using on these wheels?
