I can not remember if it is a steel rims that has
been chromed on the face or if it is a aluminum wheel that has been chrome(Can
you chrome aluminum??).
I also wanted to note that I do not want to
paint them unless it is the only quick/cheap fix. I am afraid that painting the
rims will look tracky. I'm sure there is a way to paint them and make it look
good, but I am not sure.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Chrome
Rims
My 1971 Chevelle is just days from being
completely finished. All the body work and painting is done and the interior
is almost finished. I have just one problem. I have what I call fake
centerline wheels which are rusty up. I can not buy new rim for the car at
this time. I do not know if I will be able to clean up the rims. First I
wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on how I might clean up the rim and
polish them the best I can. Second, what about painting the rims. If I do
paint them, how would be the best way to paint over chrome and what color
should I paint them. The car is Blackwatch green firemist. This is a very
dark green with three types and sizes to sparkle. The interior is tan. I
have to do something to the wheel because the car look so nice. If I don't
clean the wheel up somehow, it will make me look stupid. Any
ideas.
Go to this address to see a picture of my
wheel. My site is not complete so please, no bad comments.
Thanks for help!
