alloy wheel repair

[aldochina]

any of you guys try to restore your aluminum wheels, edge dings, scratches, light rust, ect. If so, any suggestions? I have a set of oem rear rims for 86 350x I want to make look as new as possible. They are in decent shape, but far from perfect. I have a nos front rim also plan on using them on my restore. I will post some pics if anyone seems interested, or has some advice.

If you find out let everyone know:w00t: . Somebody could make a little money if they could do it right. I would certainly pay a fair price!

the main thing about factory honda wheels is that they are anodized so when you get scratchs or repair a dent (more scratchs) you need to sand them down and polish them or get them reanodized.

major dents/bends are hard to get out of aluminum without it cracking so i would just replace them in that case.
