Thread: question about pregens

I found a set of rims today at the junkyard that used to be on a 97 GT. However, they had the pontiac lettering on one of the spokes. That means they're pregens right? The similar fat 5 spokes from 97+ didn't have that lettering as far as I know. They look similar enough that I can't for sure tell the difference between them unless I see them side by side, but yeah..the lettering. If so I'm probably going to pick them up. Guy wants 100 for them and theyre in pretty good shape, probably an 8/10 after they get cleaned a bit.

If has lettering on 1 spoke they are 94-96 rims, so yeah pregens.

These are pregens, be sure they arnt bent.

cool that's what I thought

anyone got any tips on cleaning up polished rims?

lots of elbow grease.

quick tip, and old hub bearing clamped in a vice makes a great polishing station

and it works fantastic when you and your buddy take the bench mounted buffer and work that **** like pro's on a mission to aquire aluminum psychosis and injury

Nice score.....polished pregens are not easy to come by.

what do I use to get surface rust off without scratching them up too bad? really fine grit sandpaper? or oxidation, or dirt, or whatever stuff is lol

yeah I realized right after I posted that (wait its aluminum derp), just looks like rust

I'm gonna be "that guy"
Aluminum rusts almost instantly without the coating that it naturally forms. /endrant
