Re: fix corrosion on rims?

I had this problem on my old corvette. I stripped the wheels with a product called Busch clearcoat remover. A lot of work (about 20 hours), but that also included polishing the bare aluminum once it was exposed. Once they looked perfect, then I clear coated them. After a while though, I eventually sent the rims to Corvette Mike in california and had them chrome plated for about $650.
