Pics of polished Formula wheels and care
Do you all remember i used to ghave a set of horrible wheels ??
I updated it for a set of 87 base rims and 215/60/15 tires
Well i have this deal...a friend of mine said to me he would change his wheels froms his 88 Formula if i give him my wheels plus 70 bucks and 2 drum brakes that i dont use
I think its a good deal cause im in Chile and there is the only way i can get that wheels 16x8 with 245/50/r16 on it
The problem is that they are not in good shpe cause the coat has peeled away ..so i thought i could polish them and make look kie new but after the aluminum is bare ..what care should i practice for the wheels not corrode ?
Its a good deal ?
Here is a shot of my car now
Thanks

No you cant have any pix! just
ing. What you shoudl do is Use some paint stripper and a high pressure hose. Stripp the Rims down to get all the clear coat off. Then polish them down. Well keep in mind <u>paint stripper eats paint, Skin and leaves brown marks on tires.</u> Some of it is tuff enough to eat a hole throgh the tire! But good luck finding that stuff. EPA outlawed it. Well I just stripped mine. Havent polished them yet though I want to .
