Good price, but I can't tell if they are real OEM or clones.

Now, if you come across a set of new 15-inch Bundts...

Yes hard to tell from the pics.

... the wheels I recently wet sandblasted, primed, painted, and clear coated for about $30 in paint supplies [for 4 wheels]. I will actually eventually refinish 17 of these wheels and believe me when I say that I'm finally getting the hang of the work such that I'm confident of the finished product.

Sam

How/where did you get the product to repaint them? I have a sand blaster already.

They are pretty tough to keep clean, especially the brake dust on the fronts.

... I should have at least referenced this ongoing THREAD on the subject of refinishing these wheels: First class wheel refinishing

The paint product I used is standard at the chain "Kragen" autoparts here on the Left Coast for ~$7.00/12oz spray can [all 3 products]. For not too much more/oz you can have an imported aerosol product from the same company that made/makes the paint for MBZ. As to dust, I have also discovered the dust shields for ~$30/pair that make sense for the two front wheels.

Enough for now and here... I think it best that you check out the THREAD referenced above first [75+ POSTs] and POST your questions there. I don't want to shanghi this THREAD.

Sam

If they had been 15" I would have titled the thread "Look at my new 15" Bundts".......
