SINISTER WHEELS AND KLOCK WERKS FENDER INSTALL
here is nothing more classic than a set of spoke wheels with a whitewall tire. Good spokes last a lifetime. Bad spokes rust and can fail. Why not have the best of both wheels with the looks of a spoke wheel made from billet aluminum? That’s the real beauty of the Billet Daddy wheels from Sinister. For that added bit of extra flair, we added a colormatched Benchmark Front Fender from Klock Werks. This is a job that can easily be done in the garage, but with anything wheels and tires we always use the experts at Wheel Works because they just make it so easy and quick! HB
1 p The first step is to remove the blue protective coating on the
whitewalls with a brush and water.
4 p The front tire is cleaned and mounted.

2 p Wheel Works makes mounting tires a cinch without marring or
damaging the wheels.
5 p Clean, clean, clean. Now is the time to get the wheels and tires as clean as possible.
3 p Rather than put unsightly wheel weights, we use Dyna Beads.
These small, coated glass spheres distribute themselves to balance the wheels as they rotate.
6 p The front tire is removed and set in the eBay pile.
