Wheel refinishing

scrap aluminum alloy wheels are something like $0.50/lb

with the weight of these boat anchors, your looking at $40-50 if you scrap these.

So do the face bolts thread into the barrels? Did you try using heat? Getting all those snapped bolts out of there is gonna suck if they are still in

Yes bolts thread into barrel. I tried heat. The bolts that broke were going to brake no matter what. They are just that corroded. If I can ever actually get a face off I will see if the snapped bolts are even removable. At this point I am likely just writing them off as a lost cause.

None of my bolt heads stripped.

It says "or broken" right in the title lol. I was posting it just to show that you can buy new bolts and that they're surprisingly titanium.

If u are planning on scraping them I might try to buy one from you to make that a PC case like I showed above. Need to take measurement of my stuff though.
