I picked up these wheels of ebay the other month for my GT40project. This was one of the ebayphotos, so they obviously needed some work. I drove from Melbourne to Sydney topick them up and have had them in my shed for a little bit.
They were originally on an old XA Landowner FalconCoupe. So could be a few years old.
The centres should be fine, will clean up nicely with somesand blasting/paint stripper/wire brush and re paint.
The problem I have is the outer sections of the 3 piecewheel. These will un bolt and I can workon them separately.
The outers were originally chromed but have quite a bit ofrust starting to show through. Where youcan see the colour change on the outer rim is actually silver paint! See the over spray on the tyre
What would you do, can these be painted over, can I get themre chromed, powder coated?
I have never had to deal with this type of problem.
Cheers.
Ryan
