Good job the only down side is that without the clear coat the wheels will oxidize requiering constant polishing
Looks a lot better I need to do the same thing and this video was extremely satisfying 👍🏼
Thanks for the Vid. Restoring some old SSRs and some of the tips from here should help.
Appreciate the video man couldn’t find the rustolleum product at all but found something similar in a can
Thx for the vid man. My es6 varrstoens are doin the same thing
Use approximately 1500 to 2000 grit sandpaper on the badly oxidized spots then polish. Use a two part clear coat in a can ie Eastwoods to give them protection so you will not have to keep polishing. Might as well since you have already done the hard part. Just FYI. The wheels look great.
Just the video I was looking for! Good to know aircraft removes clear coat!
Hey i want a detach steering ? should i get it off ebay? are all the ones on ebay fake or are there real ones?
That what i do last week :p but wet sanding and polish..
Clean results man !
Nice work sir and some good info for sure!! I have some VW OEM wheels that need this for sure. Gotta say mask up and at least glove up sir. Looks great?
did you put clear coat back on after you stripped
braw job,, letting me know that the preparation is the most important thing.. cheers 👍.
I got my ESRs cremaic coasted. But great job 😌👌
Nice job
Great video, subbed 👍
Good tips.
Will this work for axis wheel chrome lip or no ?
nice looking wheels
Yeah, much better! Masking always seems to take the longest.
I use diamond metal polish man it makes rims chrome
What was the name of that can of aircraft spray u was using? Great job u did there
Rust olium
For anyone looking to save time masking the fake bolts or whatever, use heat shrink tubing
Absolutely genius!
nice civic man
If you go to a hobby store they have liquid masking..You brush it on and peel it off.
Hey what’s a good way to paint the leather of the dashboard?? I don’t like the color on my 99 civic LX 😪😪
Paint
thanks! great video... doesn't have to be perfect for my 2010 VW
My least favorite part is masking it takes so long but so worth it in the end
We had wheels with lots of little bolts like that. They turned out to be plastic and only there for aesthetics.
Did you get that aircraft remover from autozone bro I can't find one
WeTLaDi3sL0vER SLamm3dEs1 yeah I got it at autozone
thanks
Whats the color of your car.. Color code
looks better with the SiR rim.
Nice video dude
No gloves, no ventilation, in a garage, no sanding... seems legit.
What's the specs on the wheels? Size width and offset thanks

WHAT ARE THE RIMS AND WHICH SIZES ARE O KNOW THEY ARE XXR BUT WICH ONES
Jonathan Gonzalez 16x8 +20 car 521. I think they're discontinued though
Nick Sabella thanks bro
You brother,I'm sure you have found out by now,but you have to reclear them on they oxidize
Not if you regularly polish them
Totally irrelevant to the video but I was wondering if you knew how to fix a tachometer, my 97 ex one doesn't work. I took out everything and replugged it correctly and nothin. Any suggestions
ProjectVader try a different cluster. The circuit boards in them go bad sometimes.
ok thanks
I was actually doing the same thing 😂 my 98 sedan bounces from 15-20 mph lol check the speed sensor on the trans
Yup change the cluster. Had to do that few weeks ago for my 00 EJ8. Get it off Ebay or a salvage yard. Also change the VSS sensor (optional)
After spraying clear coat on my wheel, why did the color change to Gold?
It was probably a tinted clear coat. Or the color of your rims were slightly gold and the clear coat just brings out the color more.
Doeant matter what brand. My oem bullit wheels are peeling.
how long does it last or will rims look like crap in a week
DJ SAVAGE I didn't run them in the winter but 6 months later and they still look good
My clearcoat is peeling but my rims are painted black under clearcoat
I would sand it up/ scuff it up...
And re clearcoat it...
It’s funny how I see so many rep comments but fitment industries debunks that they aren’t reps..
Wheels with 2 bolt patterns should of been a dead giveaway that these were not quality made wheels.
Why didnt you clear coat them again after?
I was afraid it might peel again. And they looked super shiny without it. I figured I could just polish them every few months
How have the lips of the wheels kept up? Any oxidation from having no clear coat?
You can actually hammer out them fake plastic rivets from the back side, at least on my xxr’s. It takes like 1min to get them out 🤔
haapa23 I know you can in some but not on these unfortunately
Can't do it on the XXR 571'S I have.
When do you use aircraft stripper or paint remover it cause you go down to bare metal and then you have to feather everything out. You're better off just using some 120 grit or 180 grit sandpaper and set her out to eat surfaces and then put primer and then repaint. Using aircraft stripper just makes the job much more harder and less the entire wheel has the clear coat coming off in so many spots that it's too much the sand
Which product would you advice to repaint that chrome finish after primer?
@@Fafayega if you're talking paint I like Matrix or PPG Chromobase. Really depends on your budget
can I ask what offset and what spec those wheels are?
FiveStarStreetMachines 16x8 +20
Nick Sabella thanks! ignore my dm on insta lol
Clean ek
Did you put clear coat???
Nope. As long as you polish them every few months it doesnt need it
@@NickSabella ahh seems alot of work to polish them a couple months can you put clear coat because I put clear coat on mines and it looks weird like cracking and it's just ugly it's not nice and smooth
What's the wheel specs?
16x8 +20
@@NickSabella hell yeah bro thank your shits sick man, what's the tire size? I've been trying to decide if I should run 15's or 16s on my ek hatch.
@@dukenuke9307 thank you! The tire size is 205/40
or dont buy reps
My esr 😭
That stuff is toxic to lungs and skin bro.
clueless!
I am going to be honest with you. I stumbled upon your channel about 2 week ago and I absolutely enjoy watching your video but one thing kinda bugs me the most is that you don't sound happy in your videos your voice has a boring tone in it like your bored or not excited to make any video. other then that keep up the good work on the Honda you are giving me some ideas to build my del sol and still keeping it clean
I think that faking excitement isn't exactly nice either. I like this style better.
What u gotta do is throw them reps away
buy real wheels, you wont have to do any of that
VIP STYLE not true, depending where you’re from it’s unavoidable. So keep the “real wheels” comment to yourself lol
I wouldn't even bother to do anything with those ugly rims..
How to fix clear coat on XXRs: throw them in the trash an buy real wheels
Comments such as this one has become idiotic these days! Especially when people learn that XXR be around for 40 years, and been making the wheels you deem "real" for other companies along side their own brand, like literally in the same factories 😂😂😂
Throw those crappy wheels away and buy real wheels. Problem solved.
This is the most broke video I think I've ever watched. Cheap reps? ✅ Rep breaks? ✅ Too lazy to finish any task in one take? ✅ And while I'm thinking about it... how tf the 1st wheel get dirty? Let me guess, you put it on and went "sheeesh" then drove around on it for a week? 😂
Lol you mad dude?
@@NickSabella not even a little bit. I was just trying not to laugh mid-video on how every occurrence tracked with a broke mindset
After spraying clear coat on my wheel, why did the color change to Gold?
Maybe it wasn't two part clear coat, and its orange peel from probably to much sun during spraying. 🤔 two part clear has a mixing hardener in it when you crack the bottom open.
