Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ok not a major mod but i wanted to share what i did to a set of old generation 1 620 stock rims. These rims sat outside for years & developed a nice "patina" or layer of rust if you will. So...i took some 80 grit paper & gave em a light scuffing followed by 2 coats of urethane clear. I wire brushed & painted the lug holes F & B as well to prevent rusty lug studs. Then i dug out 4 caps & bam ! These will go on my brothers 92 hardbody eventually.... 5 Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 These will go on my brothers 92 hardbody eventually.... Those look great. But I don't think that those wheels will clear brake calipers, so make sure you do a test fit before paying to get tires mounted and balanced. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks guys & will do for sure. I assumed because the HB stock rims are 14 x 5 ? ish these should fit no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 My bro's HB is a bone stock 92 with 220,000 miles on the original motor so not much to look at B) We may sand down the factory white paint & leave random areas to remain bare metal then slap on the rims. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 These look real good close up! Creativity is what I enjoy most of the car & truck people & Mark is always thinking of fun mods and easy mods. Thank you for sharing Mark 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Those look great. But I don't think that those wheels will clear brake calipers, so make sure you do a test fit before paying to get tires mounted and balanced. I am running stock 521 rims on that dual piston setup you sold me a few years ago, all I did was hit the six spots that stick out with a hammer, and they work just fine. BTW, that was a great deal, all I had to do was change out the hardbody hub for a 620/early 720 hub and it worked great. THANKYOU. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
