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

I bought a set new in the '80s for my 240Z. They're long gone but I recall they were under $100 each and certainly not 9#. FYI, 9# is world class light. These would more likely be in the 16# range.
I believe they had a polished lip with a clear coat and mine were painted gold on the spokes. They are a Minilite copy. Some other company made them for the CS brand. I don't really think they're worth much but having the center caps helps. Most would be long - long gone...
Mine had an acorn like nut with an integral washer and a shaft that centered the nut in the lug hole.
Hope they meet your needs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
