Willie's body shop over off of copia and gateway west, him and his dad used to do a bunch of custom low riders and motorcycles, and they do the body and paint on our company trucks.

How much did you have to pay for hardware?
For those who don't already know, my c5z06 recently went into the shop due to an engine failure. So while the car has been at the shop waiting for its new heart transplant I decided to keep myself busy and sane by working on refinishing my ccw wheels.
Here is the last picture I have taken of my car since the engine failed...
First step is to remove all 30 bolts from each wheel
Find a safe place to put them if you are going to reuse them:
Next what you want to do is separate the rims by cutting the sealant:
Now that everything is apart...sit back and take a photo to post on social media:
So I went ahead and got the lips and faces powdercoated. The wheels I got were used and had been taken apart once before. I decided to contact CCW directly and just order the race hardware.
Here is what I went with for powdercoating
Next comes the fun part! You have to completely remove the sealant using a razor and a wire wheel:
ready to be put back together:
So next following the advice of the ccw how to video on reassembling these bad boys I went ahead and went to town!
Here are the results:
And of course since Im getting a forged and larger motor, oh and larger turbos I figure I might need these now!
