Looking for a few old crusty faded computer wheels for my wall hanger project. The more faded the better. Need both large & small wheels.
Thanks
Dave

Take a piece of heavy cardboard, wood, or metal, and lay the computer face on it. Mark out the location of all the openings, and then use the stick on numbers sold by the repop vendors, to fill each marked spot. Attach the whole thing to the back of the computer face and you are done!
No messing around trying to attach a bunch of old beat up wheels!

Thanks for the advice Kevin but I would like some original faded wheels.

Dave , How faded? Are you talking about old style aluminum non indented wheels or newer faded indented wheels?

Either old style aluminum or newer indented will do. If older aluminum, I would like the at least make out the numbers. The newer indented ones could be totally faded.
Thanks
