baja rears...

[HawaiianBassHed]

got a set of baja's again, not sure if I really want to keep them tho

and hit one with 000 steel wool

then hit it a little with 0000 steel wool...

I may paint the rings black like the one guy since mine are chewed up good. I may even use bed liner, since I have a can as that's what I used when I was redoing my mini chopper and pitbike last year... will try to work on them tomorrow then get tires mounted and see how they look on the bike not sure if that will all go down tomorrow tho. we'll see.

000 vs 0000

next step is blacking rings and polishing the inside with a compound and rotary wheel on my drill lol

 

[blaster01]

nice dude, i always liked the baja rims

 

[HawaiianBassHed]

I busted out the painters tape and regular masking tape and realized how much I hate taping so rigged it on the fly lmfao....

when it dries I'll pull the cardboard, OR I could possibly pull it out thru the back more pix soonish lol

yeah, I should probably specify as you can see they're DWT red labels reinforced by OMF LOL not ITP T9 baja wheels...

 

[HawaiianBassHed]

bling

walmarts spray on bedliner... leftover can from last year when I redid my china mini chopper and pitbike lol.

from bla, to bling lol

I think I've come a long way from last year LOL still can't find a blaster that's in need of work.. but I will when I'm ready I suppose.. gonna build a trail rig that is a beast I hope.

i didn't know that doughlas made a baha i have itp which are better

 

[HawaiianBassHed]

both outter rings done with one coat of bedliner...

I hit the outter lip of the one on the right, so I'll hit the other one too. but I may have to redo that when I get tires mounted up due to scuffing/scratching it off... I also still want to get the wheel a little more polished. we'll see...

I really don't think DWT "has" reinforced rims, I'm pretty sure OMF did it. OMF also does beadlock on DWTs with the scalloped rings which DWT doesn't offer... DWT has beadlocks, just not scalloped ones...

OMF Performance Products | Sport Quads | Reinforced Wheels

even some of their beadlocks are using DWT wheels...

Looks good man. I am curious about how well that bedliner will hold up. The paint on mine chipped pretty easy. That is why I stripped the one and was thinking about polishing instead. Bedliner may be a better idea. By the way I used a 10" paper plate inside to prevent over spray off the inside. Just cut a small wedge out of it and I was able to shape it like a funnel to get it in and then pushed it up to the back side of the rings from the other side of the rim.

I don't think it will hold up much at all. but I'm not all that worried about it. once I put them on they will get beat up and polishing them was a big waste of time as well lol. it's fun while it lasts and this finish I can redo myself so it's not a big deal...

powder coating is really one of the best ways along with anodizing to have a lasting finish, but even those get alot of wear. I just wanted that custom look lol. I'm doing it on a budget, hopefully I can sell them locally later if I decide to for what I got into them...

What makes the ITPs better? They are essentially the the same wheel as far as I can see.

I think they look good and that bedliner is tough as nails on truck beds. Its actually a pretty good idea. I was thinking about using it on my pegs and nerfs. Biggest problem I had with the painted rings was chipping. I think that bed liner stuff drys more like rubber (kinda flexible) doesnt it? If so it should be more resistant to chipping. I might just give it a try myself. I really liked the look with the black rings but just didnt want them to look like crap after the first ride.

rims look gd man! i haven't been able to f find a set of them cheap yet

I think he was askin and juss has pretty poor delivery of what he was trying to say...

Yeah, they r rubbery I supposed compared to paint. I think they can still scratch off

According to who? I'd rather have OMF over ITP any day, that's just my personal preference.

 

[HawaiianBassHed]

O

i didn't know that doughlas made a baha, i have itp. which are better?

I think it's just poor punctuation. I mean he's only 12 guys lol. I was alot worse for english at 12

got a set of rockouts, used for a decent price, so slapped my holeshot SXs on them this morning.. never knew how easy it was to mount atv tires by hand. now for setting the bead lmfao... tried wd40 and a lighter but it didn't work LOL think the guys on youtube used some kind of flamable foam, gonna watch it again and see if I can try it again, then it's conventional style with a rachet strap and compressor... this is the 1st time I've set tires by myself by hand. I've seen it done but didn't really do much besides step on a corner lol

tired to make a vid, but forgot to press record til after I finished... took me about 5-10 minutes per tire max... the tire cleaner is what I used to lube the rim and tire...

I found out by looking at the recording time I just turned the camera record on...

 

[HawaiianBassHed]

had a blast putting the rears on. couldn't do it by myself so had my buddy hold um while I popped tire spoons...

facebooked these off my phone lol

this one I just did on photobucket off my phone too... little better light but a crappier angle lol. tomorrow I'll get better ones possibly. gotta somehow redo the rock outs or clean them back to a shiney look
