Managed to get some done today cleaning up the wheels and giving them a fresh coat

[Rovan2021]

Only had the car a week not been out yet ( found somewhere to take my step son next week once he gets back from his dads) , thought it has a aluminium upgraded front bar on the way and skid plate upgrade , whilst I'm not busy today I painted the front wheels ,. Cleaned them up loads and I think they look much better , fully stripped , painted and then laquered , probably won't last two mins but hey

Looks good!

Going to do the rears tomorrow and hopefully the ally front will be here this week ready for fitting and then have a bash next week sometime , can do the little bits whilst it's out of action the orange anodised bits don't really gel but gotta to make it your own eh

I've been looking for aluminum wheels for my baja forever but can't find any.

Yeah I did wonder if they where something that was available tbh wonder if other models etc would possibly fit also , part prices in the UK are really high tbh I've just got into the hobby and never realised how big the hobby was , you could make some good money just buying and stripping them , I need alot of ally upgrades still for mine most has been done but it needs the front ally bulkhead , all suspension , and the rear bulkhead and shock towers , then it's basically all ally , very pricy but I'm just going to do it as and when I can afford to

A few months ago I guess it was, I bought some chrome wheels for my baja and took it out to the sand dunes but it chipped the crap out of each wheel on the outside ring. Exactly why I want aluminum. I did find one set but I couldn't find where they were located and I have a problem buying something expensive and no clue where they come from.

I completley agree from a purchasing stand point , I always use PayPal for this reason but still it's a risk , hopefully some will turn up !

 

[Tunedfrog]

Eventually I'll find some. No big hurry.

that's the wheels done , the rears where a nightmare to get the tyres back on and lined up think it's had recent new rear foam inners , fought against the weather all day , but was worth it !

also fitted new front end , put alot more strength in that front end now , really happy with it

 

[Tunedfrog]

Looks awesome. I'm lazy and put on a roto starter.

 

[Rovan2021]

Tbh didn't take me long was a rush job as could see the rain coming was a case of spraying outside then throwing the bits in the shed to dry at least you got something done today , chip away at your leisure that's the good thing about this hobby

 

[Doom!]

Really like the look of those wheels! she looks great, like the new front end too.
