That's the only way to make the differents between the real one and the repro ... Cheers, Dokke Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: SOB/RFH on October 30, 2006, 12:58:04 pm hrrrm....sorry, but.........With original Gasburners you donīt have to freqent a gym to be able to change the wheels.....That's the real diffrence!!

I disagree I ended up leaving the gym with my original burners due to the amount my bicepts developed with the polishing. O and with the excitment of being sexually aroused by them :o ;D Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: SOB/RFH on October 30, 2006, 18:14:35 pm Polishing does not take a lot of muscle power...........you just need to hang in 8)...........So i guess you have been carring repro burners in a warehouse if you want to build biceps! :)

Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: Gregor/DFL on October 30, 2006, 19:57:11 pm One of our Club members -Dokke- stated a few months ago that he leaves the Gasburners flat silver. reason (except from saving time & fingertips): By looking at them you can divide the "fakes" from the "real ones"-the fakes canīt get flat by themselves ;D
A quite good reason to let the Gasburners appear in a used-look....

Me too. Plus my car isn't that shiny, so the oxided look matches the overall apperance ;) (http://www.kolumbus.fi/tero.j.virta/images/2006_Swapo_15.jpg) Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: Jon on October 31, 2006, 09:17:27 am I'm pretty sure all of us can spot a fake across the parking lot? All I have to to is look at the lug holes... I polish all my wheels by machine.. where I can..
Have you been up and close to some of the new fuchs "copies"? They are so far of that I consider them a brand new wheel... check out the area around the centre caps :o Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: El Diablo Gris on October 31, 2006, 17:39:35 pm I restored / re-did my Gas burners 3 times in the process of restoring my '58. At one point I was so fed up with the magnesium going away, that I actually put some early 6's and 5.5's on it. That was in the chassis stage though, and I regained my senses about the Gasburners and found out about Enviropalting (plastic - powdercoat), and did the wheels for the third and final time. Between Gasburners and Cosmics (5 lug) - you can't go wrong! ;D
Title: Re: Polishing magensium wheels Post by: . on November 02, 2006, 00:14:25 am I polish my magnesium BRM's about every other month.
I like Happich Simichrome the best. It doesn't take very long and I don't mind. ;D |
