Default Project Longbeach wheels $80

I need to get these out of my garage. I stripped, repaired, and repainted one wheel, stripped and primered another.....and that's where it ended. Just looking to get $80. Use them as spares, project, winter wheels, boat anchors, etc. The 2 that got stripped and repaired looked alot worse than the 2 that aren't before I started on them. $80....not sure if shipping would be worth it but I will leave that up to you to decide.

wow I think the one you repainted looks amazing. If I were closer I'd throw in some extra cash, have you finish em and I'd take them off your hands. I'm in the process of doing a similar job on my mod seven wheels same color scheme but I've just been a slacker lately and haven't been doing them

Thanks. Finishing them is not ever going to be on my list as my "going on 5 years now" project NEEDS to get done this year and still lots to do.

Somebody wants a dirt cheap set of LB's!

Those would've looked sweet on your car Ric! You know I would take them if we were closer. How is that project going? Motor still good? You ever buy a 4 door under 25 feet long?

Nope! This is my newest one! It's a fun side job!

As far as the other car (galaxie), I am making slow progress on it....hoping to be done by June......ish!

Agree the finished one looks amazing. If I had a red or black bug I'd be all over this.

Best of luck with the sale.

Nice! That one looks a lot better than the one you posted before. Looks like your side job is paying well. I'm sure you have plenty of stories to tell about your clients.

Good luck on the sale of the Longbeaches. Shouldn't be hard at all. Keep us updated on the Galaxie.

Yes, plenty of stories!

The one finished wheel has about 7 hours in it from start to finish including stripping, repairing curb rash, priming, masking, painting, as I did the whole wheel, not just the face. I should have done them all at the same time, but I wanted to know how it was going to turn out before I took on the whole set. The rash on that particular wheel was pretty bad!

You can probly get $80+ for scrapping them. 4 of them should be around 100lb.

I am sorely tempted, but shipping's going to be insane. The color scheme would match my car, and I'd be willing to continue on with the paint scheme.
