aluminum wheel question..

[honda200x1987]

I have a set of rear oem aluminum wheels for the 87 200X. They just have some pitting and scraches but not dents. I know you can have them turned but can you just sand then buff them will mothers polish? Has anyone done this?

I wonder what mike at VMS would charge to turn 2 rims?

Do you want to polish them? It can be done, but it's labor intensive. Start with an abrasive wheel on a drill before sanding, it'll make things easier.

It's best to have a variable speed polisher/grinder because you'll get better results than hand polishing with mothers.

chrome powder cote maybe?

For cleaning up aluminum rims, I use a Mother's Powerball and some mag polish. But for pits/scratches, you'll need to start with somthing more agressive.

Are the OEM wheels clear coated?
