restoring aloy wheels Thu, 26 August 2004 09:24 Go to next message
i brought these wheels of a guy who lived around the corner from me cheap, but they had been sitting around for ages and now look like this (sorry about the large picture).

so what is the best way to clean them up? the spokes are actualy painted silver and the outer part is polished but they are craized (spelling?). also they have been re-drilled and one of the holes filled(by previous owner) is this dodgey?

I bought some borbets in worse condition than that, stripped the paint off them and polished them. They look nice now but it is a lot of work. Have a look in the gallery for pics of the car if your interested.

You will need to blend out all the gutter rash though. Ideally you want twice the hole size between each stud hole
