Whats up with the language Fabian As for restoring BRMs, what do you mean? Are they cracked and need welding or do you just want to polish them? Your BRMs look really nice as they are.. Actually they were NOT polished when they were new. They were greyish like yours are now. I like the grey look better than the polished.. But if you want to polish them use Snap On Metal Polish, it's the best polisher I have tried for mag wheels http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=15087&group_ID=1886&store=snapon-store&dir=catalogPicture of my BRMs, I have polished them but I am not going to keep them this shiny... |

merci fabian pour le tuyau
I have already nuts spacers but I would like not to use them
I also have FAT center caps and I wait to finish the deal with another wheel to have 5 of them
fabian I am also at "La grande tortue" like the past year I hope we could find time to have good time and drink a beer
Rune can you have this kind of nuts?

Your BRM's look just horrible!! Have them blasted to remove all of that old, faded muck and have them powdercoated in lime with pink "spokes". With this poorly disguised irony, it's pretty obvious that your BRM's rock!! They are sexy as hell and need absolutely NO resoration whatsoever. |

I heard of a guy here in Norway that did that to a set of genuine BRMs.... (somebody else may confirm whether this is just a rumor?) |
