The more I look at the photo, the more I like it :-k

Obviously the tyres need sorting but I might just keep these for my winter wheels.

Going to use the card trick to mask off the rims and spray them white at the weekend.

What is going to be the best way to remove the chipped black? They're silver underneath.

You either need to use lots of elbow grease to sand them out or when i did my wheels i used loads of nitromors and took them down to bare metal.

I would say use caustic soda but it you leave it on to long your ali wheels will become a gooey messy :lol:
