5 Star Mags: Back to Basics

I was up in Connecticut again this weekend. My Puch 17" 5 Star
Grimeca Mag wheels came in earlier in the week.


Everything was there. The only bummer was the really crappy
black spray paint job that was done to these wheels. I took
everything apart and went to town on them with some Aircraft
paint stripper and a Dremel brush.


They came out pretty nice. I can't wait to get them powder coated.
I'm still unsure as to the color I want to paint them. I'll need to order
sealed bearings for the front wheel as well as a new front axel and
a spacer. I also need to order a 36 tooth sprocket for the rear wheel,
and possibly new sealed bearings to replace the old ones.
The front wheel had loose ball bearings.
