    So that wouldnt be to harsh to sandblast them? I had thought about that but wasnt sure how it would come out.

    Picked up a set of wheels of craigslist for $35! After emailing the guy to confirm size, bolt patter, offset and of course if they were actually only $35, I immediatley left work and drove to pick them up. They definitely need a little elbow grease but they are gonna clean up nice, they are 14x7. The one on the left is after some wet sanding and polishing. Any ideas about how to clean the mesh part?

    Thanks for the info...my pics can be used as a what not to do. I was planning on putting on foam on the areas you mentioned but i am still aways from actually putting the fenders on. One more question...whats the best thing to use on the inside of the fender? I was thinking of just POR-15, but should i also use some sort of undercoating?

    ya...i was gonna give the fronts a go, the only problem seemed to be pressing out the old bearings. i think i'll definitely take the rears somewhere to have them done. Thanks!

    i'm not in a hurry to have it done, i just want to make sure its done right. can anyone recommend a shop in or around san jose?

    Are there any detailed write-ups on installing front and rear wheel bearings? I have been putting this off for awhile because frankly i am a little intimidated for some reason.
  11. I am going to be getting some 15x8 diamond pro series wheels for the time being and was wondering what backspacing would work best with zg flares, i was thinking 3 1/2 but i'm not sure. Thanks.
