Title: just finished working on my ET mags! Post by: simon uk on July 24, 2008, 17:14:34 pm Hi chaps, I have just finished painting them up, they arent perfect, but they are nice and shiny! I keep moving wheels on and getting new ones, but I have to decide whether to keep these, or swap them for some wide 5 slot mags....
Note the obligatory polishing cloth. (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/462743.jpg) Title: Re: just finished working on my ET mags! Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 24, 2008, 17:16:12 pm sexy dude , what sizes are they ?

like my crestlines , one with a small lips on the polished lips an dthe other one without lips Title: Re: just finished working on my ET mags! Post by: simon uk on July 24, 2008, 17:23:02 pm all 15x5.5s, although I havent actually measured them thinking about it. Obvously they are pretty old so there are some scratches and marks in the metal under the paint, but they were chemically dipped so there shouldnt be any nasty surprises for a while. :)
Correct Fabs, there are mark 1 and mark 2s. I would quite like a pair of either type to get a correct set, but no one would notice on the car. Title: Re: just finished working on my ET mags!

[/quote] I have obviously spent some time working on these, and markings on ETs have never been noted anywhere before, like the terovirta website, but on 2 of mine there is a stamping on the inside of the wheel, where the tyre goes that says more or less "MADE IN USA 15x5.5". that only came out when they were blasted. Obviously crestlines are marked on the back of the spokes. Here is the ad from when I bought them - Monkiboy will recognise them - well maybe not! http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,2910.0.html Title: Re: just finished working on my ET mags!
