Default Custom Rims Tutorial

Want Custom Rims?
Ok Heres what you do,
Gather all materials
1.Rims of your choice
2.JB Weld
3.Drill with 1/8 bit or smaller
4.toothpick
5.old cd case or peice of plastic to mix jbweld on
6. Dremel with sanding drum or ruff grit sand paper (optional)
7. Extra D-shaft (optional)
8. Lube (optional)



Start by breaking off the peice of your rim where the rod goes in, then drill a hole through the center, (then sand the ruffness off the back - optional)



Next After you have your hole drilled an cleaned up, Mix your jb weld steel an hardener in equal parts on your peice of plastic a toothpick will help do this



Next take your tooth pick an fill in the hole with the jb weld, then you have 2 choices from here choice one i prefer (choice one take the toothpick an mold the hole by hand to fit the d-shaft) or choice 2 (see next step



Choice 2 (optional if you chose choice one skip this step) after hole is filled let dry for a little bit not to long the take your extra d-shaft an spray it some type of oil an push the shaft through jb weld be careful it may cause damage to your d-shaft choice one is the better step



next step let your finished product dry over night
You now have custom rim fileing may be required for the rim to fit pefectally an fenders may need to be shaved a little for great fit







these rims are on a lifted f-150 they are off a 1:24 scale dub city dodge ram any scale rims will work all though these are next to the stock f-150 rims the slamed rims an the off-road rims with mud tires

I am not responsible for any damage to your car do this mod an your own risk
