BBS wheel restoration

Got these great BBS wheels (original to the car from the dealership, painted Guards Red to match). I replaced the center caps, but the hubs themselves are pretty worn looking. Any idea how to either get new ones or clean these up (can't imagine paint would stay on since I have to crank these on and off).

The centercaps are worn? Are they aluminum? Maybe re-anodize?

If they're original they should be Aluminum. You should be able to disassemble the caps (the BBS logo will push out) and have them reanodized, polished, painted, whatever you want.

Mine are painted gloss black. The threads are plastic for the caps, they're not tightened down hard.

Yessir, got them sorted. Ended up repainting them myself, until I can get all 4 wheels to a shop to have them powder coated again. Thanks!
