Refinishing A Set Of Very Rare, Very Obscure Compomotive 3 Piece Wheels

Restoring a set of 3 piece centre-locking Compomotive wheels. It's very odd to be refinishing a set of wheels that won't be going back onto a car, but in a good way. More or less an art project. I actually do not know the official name of these wheels, so if someone does, let me know! They started in a pretty grimy fashion as most 20+ year old wheels do. I disassembled them, had the faces and barrels powder coated, sanded and polished the lips, finishing them off with new polished hardware. I think they turned out pretty cool looking. I hope you guys enjoy watching the process. More of this to come. Much love.

Wheel rebuilds are definitely my favorite form of detail-esque content. Always great content!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks bro! I really enjoy them as well. More to come Forsure 🙂

[@AnderZ312]

You are too good at videography my man. Stay humble, you'll go far.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you brotha! Hoping to let the channel grow and not the ego 🩵

[@craigstrickland1572]

Interesting color combo. Killer work as always

[@ChromaticGarage]

Definitely a little different haha. Thanks Craig!

[@keithoncars]

No matter what it is that you do. It always dope👊🏽🇿🇦

Thank you brotha!

[@Gibalt]

glad to see you starting to use the workbench for work and not just defaulting to the floor!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha only for half the video unfortunately. Hard to knock old habits 😭

[@coga8116]

I was talking to my bro and i told him “you know what, i would really like to drink a beer with this man” I like what you do, sell some courses, i would buy it 100%.

[@christopherthompson9642]

So sick. Those would make a cool table with a glass top.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Chris! I completely agree. Would be very cool

[@christopherthompson9642]

Also, wall hangers on the shop. I have so many ideas. If I lived closer I’d come by and have you work on the STI. It needs some love.

[@aaronstricker3388]

Refinishing wheels on a bench instead of the floor?! Love the component-based video concept, can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Haha don’t worry Aaron by the end of the video I was on the floor again. Appreciate you bro!

[@JasperGustafsson]

Loveeee the new wheel color. Matches the era perfectly

Can't stop imagining these on a Group A inspired E28. Even though they're way too small for that chassis.

[@realtalker552]

Fantastic work, the wheels and the video as well... its chilling watching you refinish the wheels with that music. As always i get excited to go to my own shop and clean the wheel wells of my rs4

[@robertolinares8394]

We gotta get a video of that mustang cleaning would be awesome

[@ChromaticGarage]

I have been debating that man! You think I should?

[@robertolinares8394]

Yes please I own a 68 mustang coupe:) that’s a gt500 what I can see which is rare. Classic cars are always cool to watch get done you will get a ton of views

[@Whynotgarage]

I really hope you’re doing a video for that Shelby sitting in the garage! 🤞🏼and the wheels look amazing as per usual with all the stuff you do!

[@bradleynaidoo]

Those are dope as hell, nice conversation piece if you will

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you Bradley! I agree 🙂🤝

[@Curionimbus]

Thank you for the continually enjoyable content, whether it's a restoration for utility of for the simple joy of renewal and stewardship of beautiful objects. Your curated music is also on point and worth the price of entry. Cheers!

These look like those rare mazda wheels, nice job man!

[@yiannismcguire9118]

Ok, couple of things. You're incredibly underrated in your videography, your edits, transitions, and planning is incredible. I think you can save yourself some time, have a greater range of surface to play with, and be able to achieve some more aggressive angles. Your bench polisher would be better off as a free standing unit. Usually your local scrap yard has a really heavy piece of metal that they can let go of. Either you or someone else weld up a bottom and top mounting plate. One to anchor into the ground and the other for the polisher. You can swap the tops as well! Grinders, polishers, cutting saws, anvils, the list goes on! Lastly, you may be better off using some hand tools with rubberized handles. I couldn't help but notice the hits from the ratchet when buttoning up the hardware on the wheels. I've made the mistake more times than I'd like of having a hand cramp or not paying attention and dropping my tool on a finished piece (makes me cringe every time lol). By no means am I trying to step on any toes , I admire your work tremendously. Just some food for thought 😁👍.

[@JohanSundin76]

I loved all about this! You've got a new subscriber. 🙂

Love compomotive. I wish I could find a set of nice 13's or 14s.

[@olispl27]

Hey man! I have these exact wheels!! They are a more conventional 4x101.6 pcd and not centrelock. It’s crazy to see another set in so much detail on KZbin! Was wondering if you knew where to purchase all new hardware for them, bolts washers nuts etc. would be greatly appreciated!

[@TheFuxxoWorksGarage]

what a fantastic set of wheels! I am doing the same thing to my small collection of split rims, and its mostly just because the will look fantastic on the wall :-) and also, they will not go down on value too

[@ChromaticGarage]

Heck yeah man! It’s a lot of fun isn’t it? Can’t wait to do another set

[@TheFuxxoWorksGarage]

@@ChromaticGarage oh yea, its great fun, and instant gratification :-) cant wait to see more of your sets, pretty great taste you got there sir 🙂

Not seeing a link to the bench polisher in the description, I just picked up some style 5s for a refinish and am very curious what you’re using

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you bro! I had filmed the first half of this video in January and now I can’t find the exact one. But it’s just form Amazon. Very affordable and very good

[@georgizhurba3484]

beautifull

[@timbogolubov3817]

Did you get a new gaskets? Is it possible to find them?

[@ChromaticGarage]

I personally don’t think it would be possible. I can barely find a photo of these wheels in a regular bolt pattern. Just one for that matter haha
