Rim Rot- RutRo

That's what all my rims look like. My solution: ignore it. It's just on the surface.

Or for about the same price you can have Champion Wheel convert them to beadlock rims.

Really, you can beadlock alloy rims? Is the beadlock plate aluminium, too?


As far as refinishing, I had a company called "Nu*Brite" refinish the aluminum wheels on my Mustang, and they were showroom condition when finished. It was about $40 per wheel. I'm not sure if Nu*Brite is a chain or not. A local bodyshop guy sent me to them. Maybe there's something similar where you live.

Ouch! There are wheel repair orginizations. Be prepared to drop about $150. Probably better off seeking out a used rim in the for sale section.

There is a company way north of me about 2 1/2 hrs. They charge $80 a wheel to powder coat. The company is call TRG Coating. I'm going to look for an easier option.

Same here. I used my dremel to buff em up and a squirt of clear coat. I still use that rim as a spare. As of right now I have no idea if it helped.

I was wondring if it could be repaired with a dremel. Was the clear coat you applied bought from as auto store?
