Default Track wheels cleaned up. Yes. Track wheels.

I posted a couple weeks ago about refinishing my track wheels. My goal was to take it from all black to just a "cleaned up" lip. Whoops.

Thanks all - to be clear, I did not refinish them. I tried to clean up the first wheel and was not happy with what I did, so I gave them to a friend of a friend who does this stuff as a hobby. I've never met the gentleman, but he's run with PCA and ACNA.

Tires removed / wheels stripped / refinished / remounted the tires (flipped at my request) / rebalanced. Good communication with progress pics.

I have no idea who painted them to begin with. However, I know that I'm at least the 3rd Dorki to own these wheels (Jose/OldTee/me).
