Who did you find to ship you a NOS wheel in 3 hours? :)

Looks amazing, you got the shine back which makes a big difference. Is that the WD-40 trick?

That looks great, I have two very sun bleached Tuffs to do too so I hope mine come up looking like that one  :daumenhoch:

Was that done with Dylon Multi Purpose Dye in Golden Glow?

A stanley blade, all over them?  Must have taken some time!

lol...i only dye badly faded tuffs...for a quick resto, scrap the rim clean of brake residue with a stanley blade, dragging it as apposed to cutting, then hit the rest of the wheel with 800 then 1000 grit wet and dry, then the obvious......wd40
