Very nice. I did the same with an old set of Racing Beats for my FD that I found on Ebay for like nothing. They looked mean after the repair.

Post more when finished! What color are you going with for the center?

Not sure to be honest, I used a impact gun to remove the bolts, I gotta stop by the bolt & nut shop to get more detail specs on the bolts and get some replacements on some nuts.

I had to do the same thing to mine when I had them. There was a defect in the gunmetal centers on most of the first ones. Nice job
