Hamann PG3 19's, finally finished!!
 

Picked up a set of Hamann PG3 19's off craigslist for next to nothing and decided to "restore" them and I'm so glad I did! Here's how they started out:

The previous owner of them decided it was smart to sandblast the entire wheel but didn't even do it properly. One rim had went through a blowout and got a little chunk bent on it, couple others had a few bends and rashes. Decided to tear them apart and redo them:

Painted the barrels a bright silver, called Fine Bright Aluminum

Got the centers all prepped up:

Ended up painting the centers black and got some universal chrome center caps and inlayed a black pontiac center cap decal in them, also went with some new rim hardware from SRR:

I went with 265/35-19 on rear and 245/35-19 on front. The rims are 19x9/19x8.5

I'm so glad I went with these, all said and done I have right about a grand invested in the whole package, not bad for three-piece wheels with tires! I saw these on the 421 SD TA in silver but really love them in black! FYI, if any of you end up with a set of these, SAVE the valve stems!!! If they are usable of course (mine weren't), they use a special sized stem (hole is .34"), I had to use a bolt in Harley valve stem, standard car stems are about twice the size you need. The Harley stems work but were a tight fit with the centers. Hamann doesn't make these wheels anymore and doesn't carry stems for them so that's your only choice.

looks great!!

nice .

good work, they came out great

Thanks guys! Now I need to polish the car up and get some better pics lol. The PG3 is actually a 3piece wheel it turns out, the barrel is 2pieces seamless welded and the bolt in center, the PG2's had a cast one-piece barrel with bolt-in center and a non-stepped lip. They are light as hell too for 19's

Great work man

Clean job! :thumb:

Thanks! My buddy took this pic when I was assembling them, thought it was sweet:

Amazing work! Great to see something out of the ordinary!

That's what I was thinking! I was iffy when I first picked them up on if I should use them but so glad now. Amazingly these tires hook damn well too! I used to blow off my 315 Kumho XS's and these 265's are WAY better...and cheap too lol. Cleaned her up today but forgot the tire shine haha:

Sexiest booth in the show if you ask me ;) (was filled mainly with the "stance" scene)

Did you have to get some spacers for clearance or hub-centric flanges? I have a set of PG2's on the way to put on my copy of the SD-421.

GTO center caps? Looks awesome

Bumping a 8 year old thread... Face Palm!

I did not have to run any spacers or flanges


No they were some universal caps that fit off ebay and I got the Pontiac logo for them. Thanks!
