Fikse Profil 5s

I'm getting the car ready for the 100 years of Cars , (Car Show) in my home town , Hobe Sound , FL.I brought these Fikse wheels Used last Fall. And was disappointed in the condition. The known curb rash was expected but what was not expected was the badly bent inside barrels . They had a .060 run out. So off the the shop Took a skim cut to clean up the outer polished edges & Lips . They came out great!! Had to press out the inter barrels. Got them down to .020 run out , That is with in spec. Then sent them to Alloy Wheel repair They did a very good job. & they look great too!

I had new tires put on them , mounted them to the cars , but the center caps that have the wheel brand just seemed out of place. So back to the shop. with the ctr caps. I turned down the surface of the caps , so the FIKSES name was gone. Polished them out, Got some new Trunk Stars , Milled in new mounting holes every 120 degrees. Attached the stars with Push nut / tabs. Installed them So what do you guy think ??
