Hey guys. Here's the deal. I have this great set of rims on my car but the previous owner of the wheels curbed them up. I wanted to mirror polish the lips, coat the centers silver, and then clear the whole wheel, however, to fix the curbage I don't think I'd be able to polish it after. Here are my options, tell me what you think:


1) strip the rims, have someone aluminum weld the curbage and turn it on a lathe to bring the welds down to make the geometry right, then polish the lips by means of using the lathe at higher speed and simply wet sanding, then mask the lips, powder coat the centers silver (what color is recommended?) and then clearing the whole ordeal.

BUT I don't know how well the welded rim would polish out. I think the aluminum would have to match right?

so

2) strip the rims, JB weld the curbed parts and sand it down to match the geometry right, mask the lip off, powder coat the center silver (what color is just a normal wheel "silver"), remove the mask and mask the center, powdercoat the lip "chrome" or "xtreme" chrome, remove the mask, and clear coat the whole wheel.

3) strip the rims, JB weld the curbed parts and sand it down to match, powdercoat the entire wheel a nice silver that is nice and shiny that will look good on a deep dish rim.


What are some general recommendations for PC'ing wheels? These are 17x10" aluminum rims. Thanks guys. I will post pics of the actual wheels soon.
