the story: these wheels were the casualty of morning sprinklers hitting the driveway every day for an extended period of time. note: I'm not to blame, heh, I'm just trying to resurrect these 7" & 8" Fuchs wheels for my '82 911 SC. Does anyone know of a reasonable/good wheel repair shop in the SF Bay Area?
I'm considering having the chrome removed and just having them polished with the centers painted. all 4 wheels were unfortunately affected.
I read somewhere that certain DIY'ers use "oven cleaner" to remove chrome but I find that hard to believe, wouldn't that stain the underlying metal and ruin them? I really would like to repair these rims myself, but I'm wondering if that'd be something more than this DIY'r can handle?
Thanks for helping. I'll post pics when I get them repaired.
