Well I picked up the Eagle Alloys yesterday morning. I am pretty happy considering the price. Two of the rims were a display rim but have never been run on a vehicle just had tires mounted on them in the store. They are definately in need of a good polish so that is what im doing at the moment. Here is a pic of two of the rims already polished. One using Bluemagic and the other Mothers Mag/Chrome/Aluminum Polish. Mothers kicked bluemagics *** in half the time. Left is Blue/Right Mothers.



I plan to put the rims on the truck at the end of Feb. I am getting antsy though so it may be sooner.

 

looks nice.

 

looking good...mine llok like crap compared to those...guess i should give them a bath...maybe after snowboarding season...

 

That mothers looks like it did a much better job!

 

Thanks guys.. at 50 bucks a rim i cant really complain.. the mothers stuff is fantastic and its easy to use just messy... 3 more rims to polish... YAY.. anybody know if the center caps off my edge wheels will fit these?

 

Just use the original lugs and should be fine...

 

so i "can" use my original lug nuts on there now with these rims??

 

dont see why not...actually Alon had the same as ours but not polished and he used the OEM lugs and center caps

 

i can't really tell the difference between the two wheels, but... if you say one is better than the other, then i guess it's my eyes, lol.

 

looks good

 

Lol maybe I am imagining it then.. haha.. no the mothers did a better job imho...

Well hopefully i can use the original lugs but i am going to buy a set of locking nuts unless i get a whole new set that go on with a key... we shall see how much i wanna spend when im there.

 

lookin good.....i ran that exact rim, size and everything, when i was running my 33's......now Bill (04lvl2) is running them on his 33's.......as long as you keep them clean they will look good....

 

thanks guys i appreciate it.. i have gone through the cleaning and detailing threads but does anybody have so cleaning tips for this exact rim?? In the instructions it says to stay away from steel wool?? True or no?

 

You can use the stock center caps, but center cps are only like $10 a piece and lugnuts a re about $1 a piece. Save the money and make em look good.

 

may i direct you to my rim cleaning expose.

you should use 00 or 000 steel wool and mothers mag and aluminium polish......that will make them look good as new........

 

well i cant find the right steel wool... i found 00 but i think i want to go with 000.. i have been using mothers mag/alum polish... its pretty good.. searched for that nxt polish, cant find it anywhere!!

I'll post some more pics when im done.. btw i wish i had a powerball right about now!!! They make it sound so much easier!!!

 

Nice.

 

Are those 058's???? I have those on my chevy....and havn't cleaned them in 2 years!! lol.

 

This thread is over a year old lol

 

Yea, my bad.. my original message was asking if he ever took any pictures of them mounted.. I noticed the date and did a search through his threads n was like.. oh nvm.. lol..

 

I'm curious, how are they holding up? Considering you haven't cleaned them.. do they have any rust? Any oxidation from the salt?...

 

My Classic IIs are screwed from the salt on the roads here. There pitted and nasty looking. Im gonna have to take some 000 steel wool to them. Make sure to clean them off a lot when the start laying salt down.

 

dang i paid 53 bucks each for my steel 15x8 from summit lol...would of loved to got alloy for that price here but all the shops are proud of them

 

We don't use salt here. =D
