Oh hey, a wheel thread. I got a good deal on some old HREs (made for Hennessey) last year and just recently finished rebuilding and cleaning them up.

Ad picture, they were a little rougher than expected:

Faces removed, didn't split the barrels, just added another layer of silicone:

Bolts ran through a tumbler for a day:


*not pictured, dropping $150 on a polisher and zephyr polish kit, fixing curb damage, etc.*

Completed:
Pre/post edit:

Getting tires mounted soon, had delays with a set of TPMS sensors.

I had my set of BBS E88 re-finished last year--attempting a bit of a throwback to older BBS themes. Originally they were configured for my E92 with matte black centers (Al), gloss black outer lips, and polished inner barrels. Staggered 19" diameter 9.5fr/10.5r. I would likely change tire sizes for future setups--lessen the sidewall height as well as the stretch :eng99:

A fun picture of them mounted on a past friend (BSM E82 1M):


Oh hey Mason :)

IMO, lovely 3 spokes:


These are actually fine if they're on a body dropped hardbody or something.

Kazera KZ-Z - They're cast wheels, but other than that I can't speak to their quality.

Tons on Instagram - threepiece.us, vr wheels, wheelsgang, solrestwheels, wheel_good_deals, and many more. Often needing refinishing and priced accordingly.

Yeah I'd think 205 is fine for a 7.5" wheel, definitely not uncommon.
