Wheel rim coating flaking off

Wheel rim coating flaking off

Postby SE4ME » Mon May 09, 2005 9:59 am

The protective plastic coating on my stock six spoke 16" rims is flaking off. Anyone else have this problem?? What a pain, the aluminum is starting to tarnish. I'll try a little metal polish, but I can't do that every day from now on.....it's weird, it's like the plastic coating got all dried out and started flaking off.....

Or you could always polish it up with a Dremel or something and then clear coat it.

Or you can take it to a place that can do it for you.

I'd say just get a set of nice aftermarket wheels.
