I just restored my ST's & got them istalled last week.
Each rim took 2.5 hours of cleanin, sanding, polishing & painting.
I used paint remover to remove the clearcoat...
cleaned with Simple green & wire brushes...
wet sanded with 220, 320, 400, 600 then 1500...the aluminum has grooves in it, i got mine smooth...
polish by hand 3 times...
mask off & paint...
clearcoat.........
For the center caps i used "knock out plugs" found @ Home depot 2 inch diameter.
before. All 4 looked like this & had NEVER been cleaned...

Good to see that others like the st rims allso. Never thought to use "knock out plugs" for center caps but iam going to get some for mine they look stock and saves a lot of money nissan wont $37 each for the centers.

The ST's are a MUST if a stock look is desired. Or in my case a 80's theme. Just bought 1 more plug today for an extra...$1.05 in the electrical dept. of Home depot.

Mark...you did great w/ these rims! all your hard work paid off!

[MurderedOutHardBody]

yea those came out real nice, no one is gonna miss those goin down the road lol

[Twisted720]

Hey what are the "knock out plugs"? I don't think I've ever seen them before. I just got new tires put on 3 days ago and the guy at the tire shop couldn't get the caps to stay on. They are so old that the tabs are braking off. I would really like to get some Z caps but I don't think they fit.

[pacific coast]

Twisted- go to the electrical dept. @ Home depot or Lowes & ask for "knock out plugs" They cost $1 each & "snap" into whatever you put them on.

i just threw one in the scrap pile, if anyone needs just 1 st wheel and is close by, you can come pick it up for free. it will need some sanding and paint.

I am a true 80's Mini guy myself and prefer the 14" ST's or the old style 15" wheels.
