So I bought this set of Sprint Hart CP-Rs a while back, not fully knowing what to expect once they arrived from Japan. One pair, as you can see was fairly clean. A few scratches here and there, maybe some curbage, nothing major.

The other pair, as anyone can tell, looks like a train wreck. The wheels had numerous bends in them (which Wheels America told me would NOT be fixable), not to mention the fact that they were just plain ugly. Nothing had worked in attempts to clean them, nothing.

Well, I decided to shell out and have them fully brought back to life.I had the wheels first repaired (the bend that Wheels America told me could not be fixed, has indeed, been fixed) then stripped, colored, had the stickers applied letter by letter, and had clearcoat sprayed over the faces to ensure longevity of the stickers. I had the lips (and inner barrels) fully polished out just for kicks.

All in all, I am thoroughly satisfied with my results, and if anyone requires such a revival of their wheels, feel free to get in touch with me. I can direct you to the right people!

Thanks for taking the time to read, let me know how you think they came out!

(BTW I know the shading on the R is a little off, but I can live with that...)

holy sh1t those came out really nice!!! damn, even the inner lip is bling!

where did you get them repaired at?

also, it's good to see people rocking real CP-R's. Every EK, EG I see nowadays on the streets rock those rota copies.... but I guess that isn't too far from the 240 world now is it.. lol

where did you get them repaired at? How much was the cost if you don't mind?

I've always wanted white CP-R's with polished lips just like those on a red eg6 lol

Just dropped off another set last week, we'll see how beautiful they turn out! I got some 16*8 all around as well, I'm hoping those are the real bread breakers..
