Wolf Wheels & Grizzly Claws

[Fluffle-Valve]

After having brought some Wolf wheels, I took them home a gave them a bit of a study.
I thought they could do with a paint job and decided to do a proper job on them.

First, here's the wheels, how they looked when I got them.










One of them had a chunk taken out of it and it needed a bit of repair.






So i thought I had better get the welder out first and weld it up.






Then a bit of grinding to shape.






Sorted.






And now some cleaning up with a wizzy wheel, (wire brush on a grinder and drill), to get the old paint off down to bear metal.






What I couldn't get to with the wizzy was taken off in my Shot Blasting Cabinet.
I made this cabinet about 20 years ago and it's done me proud. I forgotten how many bits and bobs I've shot blasted over the years.






Once they where all cleaned up and all the old paint was removed, I took them outside and sprayed them in some primer.






They were left for a few days and then given a top coat of Land Rover Lime-Stone.








I had sprayed the backs of the wheels first and left them to dry.
They were just about touch dry when the clouds came over and it started to rain. I had to rush to get them inside my garage to give the fronts a top coat.










And a posey pic to finish.




Left them for a few days before I took them down to have some nice chunky tyres fitted.








The light in the Garage didn't do them justice. They looked better outside in the sun-light.






And here they are fitted.












JOB DONE... :cheers:  for now and I hope you enjoyed my little write-up.

Man those tires and rims look seriously cool on your 109. 

Putting some life back in the rims really does make a big difference how the vehicle looks, doesn't it.

Top job.

Looks great!

Really nice truck, mind you I'm biased to 109's.

Love the spare tub leaning on the wall!

Wish I was short enough to see under a visor.

It does cause problems when sitting at traffic lights. I miss them going to green and get horns blasted at me from those behind. I'm 5' 9" tall.
