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?

[@elimgarak7330]

Gorgeous job. Would love to see how you deal with deeply scratched/scraped wheels.

[@user-tw1iy4hp3l]

Great work. I’m impressed I can’t lie.. Looks brand new! Awesome job :).

[@Deathscroll41]

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

[@clausmurf]

Kudos for the effort, they look awesome. Did this sort of project on a couple sets of rims, I would consider applying clear lacquer after mirror polishing the bead. It was a pain to maintain if kept raw.👍

[@jeanclaudecollin3056]

Top job those wheels looks magnificent 👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍

[@frankbussmann1165]

fantastic work. What impressed me most was that you used every part in its original condition and didn't buy anything new. This is therefore absolutely original. mega. This is a true restoration and not using new items

[@ianrusso8790]

WOW!!!! they look brand new, amazing work

[@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.

Amazing job! I can't believe how people destroy quality BBS wheels like that :(

[@makukhawheels4674]

Thanks🙏

[@ToraxXxBS]

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.

Awesome transformation 🎉

[@declansdad]

I may be crazy, but that was a very satisfying video to watch!

[@juanbarajas2728]

Im learning about the process so i have two questions: 1- is it worth to sink the rim on paint removal liquid before sand blast? 2- what about clear powder coat on the polished rim

[@dmitrijzemerov6506]

Those look like BBS RX2’s, using gold hardware would’ve made it “pop” but either way I loved every part of the video. Outcome is stunning.

Impressive! Good job!

[@makukhawheels4674]

[@derekholmes4792]

Now thats art!

[@blenderuser6728]

Shouldn't the bolts be replaced once removed because of stretching and shouldn't you uninstall/install the bolts cross sequentially to avoid warping the face of the wheel?

[@worshipwhilewewait]

...famous last words - 63 MORE! GREAT job!!!

[@adamspivey]

Now THIS is a proper wheel restoration. Well done!

[@makukhawheels4674]

[@landonbarclay7154]

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

[@makukhawheels4674]

My AMG wheels are going for a new finish next week. Both bumpers, rocker panels, wheels, a couple of paintless dent removals, and touch-up for the major panels. I try and keep as much original paint as possible.

[@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)

[@selintungful]

Looks so dope

[@Gnaus76]

The heat you put on the rim to remove the broken bolt won’t it soften the aluminum?

I think there are hundreds of choices as they are normally all one size. Personally I always fit the caps for the make of car. (I think It seems better quality and better resale value for the car).

[@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 :)

[@nueveibarra]

Nice work on a tedious job. What do you use to determing the Torque values of the hardware? Specifically, any kind of wheel specific reference material, general size of the hardware, or is it all tribal knowledge?

[@TheDutyPaid]

how much weight needed to balance them?

[@EstebanAGaido]

Hyper Professional. I would put new bolts instead of used ones, but seems fine after all. Excellent!

[@makukhawheels4674]

Thanks 🙏

[@antevucetic1437]

If they are titanium,witch i believe they are it would be expensive

[@splitRace]

Incredible. Congrats!

[@makukhawheels4674]

Thanks!

[@pete5534]

Yes. But, will they hold air? 😉 Nice to see ‘em get another shot - very well done.

[@gentrysmith9959]

The barrels are one piece, so unless of a crack, yes they will hold air even without the center bolted in. The only question I had was the texture of the tire bead seating surface not allowing it to seal very well.

[@butziporsche8646]

I often shock those broken bolts by hitting them with TIG and then quenching the bolt w/ Lectra-Clean (trichlorethane) and they usually thread right out.

[@goranpavlovic819]

What brand of gloves do You use when sandblasting? :-)

[@makukhawheels4674]

🤣🤣🤣

[@philtucker1224]

The basic process followed here is almost the same as when the wheel is created new. (Providing the wheel has passed crack testing, I think it should be considered as good as new). Nice music.

Thats some labour intensive job! well done.

[@makukhawheels4674]

Thanks 🙏

[@joshuaszeto]

Your work looks amazing. The only thing i worry about is the heat used for getting the bolt out. Does the barrel have any sort of heat treatment or rotary forging process from the factory? Heat might change the crystalline structure of the metal and make it softer/malleable

[@Alekoubas]

Exaclty what I was going to comment, that wheel is most likely weakened significantly after such intense local heat application, and stress cracks may develop over time around the edges of the heated area. The proper way would be to put it in an oven and heat cycle it uniformly after the bolt was out. Aside from that, very clean result!

[@budrobadre]

That looks so good! How are they holding up? I wonder if the bolts would start to rust, now that they have been stripped of everything.

[@gentrysmith9959]

I believe the bolts are stainless steel.

A bit, i guess)))

BEAUTIFUL good work

[@makukhawheels4674]

[@jabald2312]

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))))

For broken bolts don't use power tools get leverage bar etc or hammer and punch chisel combo get it moving once cut fiat heat is essential fuck penetrating fluids they do nothing quick 👌🫡 great vid love the shot blaster plenty powerful 😅💪

[@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

[@MrAchilles113]

beautiful work BUT, how do you test these for structural integrity? As wheels age they take so much abuse so im wondering if there's a way?

[@philtucker1224]

Having a two piece wheel certainly makes repainting much easier..
