Even mine won't do thatand its missing half of the main material

Hey Dylan, Looks good we'll just have to wait and see but here in Cali we don't have the extremy temp differences that alot other states have

That is very true and she's a garaged truck every night but sees daylight everyday so it'll be a toss up on if the weather will factor in. At least there's one more thread for future users to look into before putting down their hard earned money on something they like or dislike. With me I'd put this restoration at costing me barely over 100$ mostly because I had a bunch of product already but either way that's still half of a repop wheel and from the looks will stay together a lot better than the flimsy versions.

Thank you for checking it out

Please everyone feel free to add in with your own experience either refurbishing an old wheel with this product or perhaps another way of going about it. Also please share your own progress so that future wheel restorations have some background to go off of. Every bit counts
