Thanks. I sold the welds and boggers. Due to the fact there 16.5s and tires are hard to come by. I did pick up a set of 16x12 Welds, now i just need to find some tires for them.

What did you use to polish the wheels? Not totally happy with mine using mothers.

Spiral sewn buffing wheels and compounds. Then finish them by hand.

Nice looking K5

My weld wheels where so bad after setting for almost 15yrs i had to wet sand them first before I could polish them. I like the Blue Corral aluminum polish better than mothers.
