Pitted wheels

[Mavericks House]

My factory rims on my '96 Tacoma Ext Cab 4wd are pitted badly......these are the "3-Spoke" style (15") with black lug nuts......they came stock with 31x10.5 LT Wrangler GSA tires.

Can these be "cleaned up" or resurfaced?

If not, any idea where I can get a set of 4....?

hey,that's what happens when we live with salt...You can strip the original surface protector off with 'aircraft coating remover"-Napa,Carquest,maybe crappy tire.Then bring the pitted areas back up starting with 400 grit,work your way up to 1200.then clearcoat the rims again.A resurface job will cost $80-$100 a rim.

Uh......fellow Salty Atmosphere dweller in N.S.........you almost sound like you've done this before yourself......?

Thanks very much

Yeah,If your rims are the painted aluminum and not the polished aluminum,There's a real good Duplicolor wheel paint at Crappy Tire.Nice metallic colors and it lasts really well.I,ve done a set of 5-spoke Gsr rims and the stock steel rims on my 4Runner.both are holding up well.

I have a set of stock steel rims and aluminum rims i might have to try this on, always good to run into these ideas.
