So I scored some Carroll Shelby wheels for my 914 . Iam looking to refurbish them.
The rims have been in shed for 20+ years. They look good but I'd like then to look new.

So how and what to clean them with?

What lug nuts and washers to use?

Anyone have any experience with these, had a hard time finding any info on them?

Thanks

Very Nice!

Great Score.


I have no specific info or experience with these but definitely not the factory lug bolts. Lug seats are flat.

I went through the whole lug nut thing with our Boxster when I bought aftermarket wheels... Ball Seat, Conical and then what size, etc....
