Wheel problem

Post by Hugh Janus »

i had a good look at my wheels today while cleaning them and have noticed there is a fair amount of corrosion. So i went a wheel specialist this morning to ask about getting them powdercoated/painted but due to the type of wheel it is, they cannot be coated or sprayed apparently because it has a Stainless lip (which i want to keep) cannot be removed.

had anyone either sprayed their own wheels in the past and if so any pointers
