Default CCW Classics- reborn.

I bought some CCW Classic Track wheels from imflyinbya last year and they were in pretty rough shape to say the least... still pissed off about that transaction actually.

Anyway, I cleaned them up to a respectable condition and made it work for awhile. I couldn't deal with it anymore and had to refurb them....

Whomever had them before me was a lazy POS and simply spray bombed the black centers without masking much or taking them apart. The nuts were murked along with the lips where the weight saving holes are. Faded black centers look

Here's 8 hrs of work and about $20... They are beautiful again. The pictures hardly do them justice.

Before...


During...






After

Well they sure do look great now! I just bought some i-Forged Swifts from a guy that didn't represent them the way they really are.So I sent mine to a wheel shop so that they can rehab them.

Wow! They look amazing. Forgive my ignorance, but do the bolts holding the center section of the wheel have to be tightened with a torque wrench?
