From Worn to Wow: Our BBS RS771 Restoration Process

[@bobal11511]

Sandblasting without gloves... You are sick madman. Beautiful job

[@tylerduncan8687]

Thats some janky ass sandblasting styles, love it haha.

[@nickbell3546]

It doesn't hurt too bad as long as the pressure isn't too high and you're not pointing directly at your hands xD

[@peterhrd8310]

Bolts should constantly be renewed!!! That is a must for the company BBS!

[@vanishingpoint808]

Even with titanium bolts?

[@Xerber85]

​@@vanishingpoint808The short answer to that is: depends on the bolts. Although titanium offers a superior strength to weight ratio when compared to steel, titanium isn't necessarily stronger than steel. So unless you are very sure of the specs of the bolts you're taking out, I wouldn't risk it and just renew them as BBS requires. Be it steel or titanium, metal fatigue happens to any metal that's exposed to repeated stresses.

[@fromthebottom22]

I just picked up a set of RS771 and I'm gonna get mine looking good here very soon.

[@adamspivey]

Now THIS is a proper wheel restoration. Well done!

[@makukhawheels4674]

Thanks 🙏

[@nipunpatel5395]

9/10 shops wouldn't even dissemble let alone clean up each bolt. Really thorough job and very refreshing to see 👌

[@dacat8171]

Neither would I disassemble the rims. Chances are high, shearing these screws off. Those are made of Titanium. Masking them and happy it is.

Would it be a good idea to clear coat the barrel? mine got restored a few years ago but it's been hard to maintain the rims, they are now black almost.

[@alphonsbretagne8468]

1:34 for situations like the broken bolt you may give a *manual* impact driver a try. Like KS Tools 515.1003 (it's just the first one I happened to google)

I think this is the sweet spot for the channel. I need more of this.

They were just normal wheels back in the days. You have no Idea for what germans used them 😅 My grandfather put his garden hose around it... Some used them as flower potts

[@cja5451]

They weren't "destroyed" the cerakote thats put on them from the factory is garbage.

[@kkhouggy3600]

Can you tell us what torque you used when re-installing the face bolts? I have a set of 2 piece AMG rims that will need to be refinished and the assembly torque is the only spec I am missing.

[@makukhawheels4674]

Around 25-28 nm

[@KolbenfresserTV]

When an bolt is broken, we decide to weld an nut on it. Its the best and easiest way to replace it. greetings, and nice video :)

Look great 😁I have the same mag and i planned to restor it but i dont have a sunblast or rust gun remover and paint gun so this is possible to do it without all this with just some sandpaper,chimical product,good sray cane skills? I know that would be long but my friend told me a restoration like that is almost the price of the mag so do u have any tips to do it on a budjet ? 🤔

[@miguelgarrote6300]

when I restored some badly worn aluminum wheels I only spent $140 on sandpaper, aluminum polish, and a polish applicator. It takes a boat load of time to do but its worth it in the savings you get compared to having a professional restore ur wheels

[@makukhawheels4674]

You can do it yourself without any problems - but would be a long way))))

[@landonbarclay7154]

Amazing restoration! Do you know the torque spec for the bolts mounting the face to the barrel?

Thanks 🙏 25-28nm

[@rstezza]

What foot pounds of torque do you torque the wheels bolts?

[@makukhawheels4674]

I used 28nm here, but it can be 25-28nm for used bolts

[@rstezza]

@@makukhawheels4674 thank you for replying. I’ve got a set of deep dish wheels that I want to polish up. Is there a particular pattern you have to follow to torque them down, like you would on an engine for example? Or do you tighten the bolts down randomly ?
