Wheel Restoration At It’s Finest | Subaru BBS Refinished
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Welcome to TRC REX, our first-ever car build series! In this episode, we give our low-mileage 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI a new set of shoes! By taking the STI's, (extremely-worn) original OEM BBS wheels to Western Powder Coating for a full prep & coat, they come out looking better than ever!
Lastly, to lock-in the freshness of the newly-powder coated BBS wheels, Anthony preps & coats them with GTECHNIQ C5 Wheel Armour!
If you're a fan of surfing online classifieds for deals on used cars, buying them & returning them to their former glory (or beyond it) then this is the series for you!
Basically, you could say we invested in the cheapest Subaru Impreza WRX STI we could find! Now you can bet we're gonna restore, build & drive this mostly-stock beauty from the street TO THE MOON!!!

Best center cap on UA-cam!
For a sec I thought BBS was slang for something inappropriate.
wheels turned out GREAT!!!
Dude yes! OEM+ is way underrated. These JDM cars have great offerings in Japan to give it that extra manufacture spark.
Is Dane going to buy the car once it’s done? He looks a little too happy driving it
He's waiting for the next car in the series. He needs something a little bit more....quirky...
2:57 As a former 2009 Corolla XRS sedan owner, I enthusiastically endorse this edit. :)
That shot at 6:53 is lit fam fire!
Sucks that they coated the back pads of the wheels and the Center bore, that should have all been masked off.
Great video guys! Love the behind the scenes on the powder coating process
@@theragcompany yeah those behind the scenes are really interesting, keep them coming whenever something like that happens!
No throwback Dane pic but wow y’all really took it to another level in this one great ep dudes 🔥🔥🔥
OEM BBS goodness!!! So glad you guys got them restored. They look so good! 🔥 When’s this thing going up for sale?? 👀
This is a dope project you guys took on!
Should the toothbrush polisher be used twice a day for pearly whites?
We need a counter for every time he says Panel Wipe 😂😂😂
Blasphemy on the Corolla reference! (though I’m pretty sure Mrs. Gates drives a Camry) I’m curious to know how much this restoration process would cost.
...depends on the amount of prep needed to get the wheel ready. I'd guess $60-$100/per wheel plus the ceramic coating. Not sure if the high gloss coat costs more...
Ahhhhhh yeah! I have the same wheels on my STi swapped bug eye!
Imagine replacing stock nice, good-looking BBS wheels for some cheap Rota 🤦🏻
BBS for the win!!!
I heard Anthony’s wife drives a RAV4
Absolutely fantastic video, wow! I know you meant Camry. My goodness, what a series .
I'm trying to figure out where he's from, I've seen him on another channel for a long time and can't figure it out
Who would swap these out for Rotas lmao.
Awesome work
6:54 wheel weights need to go on the outside lip....otherwise the front brembo calipers will catch them if their mounted on the inside...not speaking from experience of course.... as for tires, there isnt too many tires that will beat the stock bridgestone pontenza RE01 for oem tires... I guarantee the ones you put on wont beat the stock potenzas .
365 as the levelling towel after application??
Is good job, I work for 9 years with different company paint.
Have you guys had issues in the past with different coating, where the weights will not stick?
Personally I would coat the wheel then have the tires installed then balanced, this way if a tire had to be rebalanced, there wouldn't be a bare spot where the coating did not cover.
No need for tape during powder coating?
Turned out great! Have heard its best to paint/clear a forged wheel vs powder coat. Not sure why. Maybe possible cracking during the baking stage?
Low temperature powder ~200 degrees Fahrenheit is ok, however most powder coating shops use the higher temperature process. The 6000 series aluminum does not like additional temperature cycles and it changes mechanical properties of the material and can lead to future issues. This is a fact and not a myth.
I just bought new wheels. So you're suggesting I should have tires mounted and balanced first before coating them?
What color powder coat is that?
Is it possible to make it chrome?
Please more STI videos!!
@@theragcompany Yay thanks guys I love you all very much! ❤️✊🏽
Back in the Nasioc days people would say to not powder coat these forged BBS as they couldn’t handle being baked again at the higher heat. No idea what truth there is to this but would love to hear your powder coat guys opinion!
The great majority of cracked BBS wheels that I have seen have all been powder coated. Some were coated more than 1 time. Some become brittle and after several times the heat cycles can make them soft.
Nice job besides coating the hub, a no no in the powder coating world
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Are you going to denib those tires? ;)
Anyone notice how he wore the glove on the wrong hand? No just me?
...sounds like a lazy previous owner... I have DWS06 on my '19, and I HATE them...from day 1 (2200 miles on the odo) and I've had a persistent, speed related vibration that wasn't there w/the OE Dulops. Even w/2 new "complimentary" tires, the vibration is still there. Plus they are noisey. Wheels look good.
Anybody got a single 5x100 sti bbs wheeel for sale lol
It was a bit confusing hearing that voice and not seeing a red civic getting worked on lol
The guy powder coating and not wearing a mask...
Came here to say the same thing.... COPD has entered the chat.
all season tyres, yikes
🤣🤣🤣hi performance corolla... is that like govt worker, jumbo shrimp or owners kid
What’s wrong with enjoying jumbo shrimp? Who doesn’t like a shrimp cocktail?
Good job powder coatings good for your lungs..☹️
