Thread: The Wheel of Oz.

  1. #1

    Default 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.



    Tonight...







    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.
