My pathetic BBS RK II

[peckhs]

my rims are in pretty bad shape. the lacquer seemed to have corroded and peeled. as a result, the brake dust get imbedded into the rims.
this how it looks like

was told have to sand down and respray, problem is, will not be able to get back the same look as the original was matt metal finished..

any suggestions?

thanks

Re: My pathetic BBS RK II

Yours is polished lips - can be repaired, as long as no kerbs. Just sand it down and polish it.

Re: My pathetic BBS RK II

tks for the replies, but as the RK 2 is a 2 piece, it may require some skills and knowledge of the wheels. maybe better off without dismantling and just do a sanding down
will check with hurry first

Re: My pathetic BBS RK II

As far as possible, do not dismantle it, assuming it is not welded. The centrepiece can be resprayed, the lips can be sanded and polished.
