Looks great. You wouldn't happen to know of a way to strip gold wheels down to aluminum again?

Thanks,

i always use this,seems to work real good.i usually scratch what im going to strip with 320 sand paper then i spray the striper on and let sit for about 15 mins,sometimes it takes a couple times but it has always worked for me74680

I read somewhere on the board that people spray oven cleaner on the rim.

Use LYE to remove anodize on rims...

Hillbilly chrome, gotta love it.:w00t:

Better than rust. Like they say on Anchorman, "60% of the time, it works everytime!":lol:

Agreed .. Oven Easy Off takes off the anodizing from the Allum Wheel's

Thanks guys.. I'm going to try the Easy off on my 8" Dico wheels

Its not a one shot done deal it takes some WORK with the oven cleaner.

LYE will take it off in a hurry. Or take it to a local anodize shop, they strip it in a matter of seconds. THEY GOTS THE STUFF :)

wear a face mask when using the wire wheel i had a heck of a time when i blew my nose it was black, anything that leaves the rim becomes air born
