The Wheel of Oz.

Probably the worst wheel I've tried to restore...OZMDD brought this wheel to me about 4 weeks ago.

Severe wear damage over 90% of the wheel. Front and back as you see here where the nubs are worn. Also, notice the wear where my fingers are located...that's the top and it is worn-flat so bad that the wheel grip is no longer round.

It is much better than before but far from perfect. "Newish", not new. ;-)

cheers,

bob

Thanks to all for the kind words.

@mc70: I used the same process to do the wheel as I did on my 95M seats. Clicky to clicky in post #1: http://www.dfwmiata.com/threads/2613...r-repair-redye at Miata.net.
