Default HOW TO: Retro Steelies

this thread Here

is the one I originally used to do my wheels.

one change I will suggest is to only use 4 clips per wheel
I originally did 5 clips per wheel... my caps wobbled..

I now have 4 evenly spaced clips ( used the big holes to line them up with) and my caps still wobble.. I even hold two of them on with nylon zip ties so I dont lose them anymore.

I figure... wobble is just a caracter trait of handmade retro steelies..

here is a pic of how I marked my wheels to attach the clips and a closeup of the ridge you need to line the clips up to.
