Just picked up some wheels and doesn't seem like the guy took good care of them. Well the lip has a horrible stain or fade as if it was water sitting there too long and got into the wheels? Any idea on how to get this sh1t off? I wanna restore these wheel and tried alot of things and so far, nothing worked. Here some pics so it yall can see.

thats bad, thought that was the edge of the rim in the second picture. i would say try getting some sort of tire cleaner or any heavy cleaner, and get a buffer (i just use my hand held sander with a buffing pad) and put it on the tire. if that doesnt work im not really sure, try tire shine?

Looks more like someone tried to clean them with some type of Ammonia. Regaurdless the guy was stupid for not taking better care of some Work rims. Best thing I could say is take them to Bucky and see what he can come up with.

LMAO wow cant believe this worked but... it actually did...... COKE! as in the drink. My friend got bored and poured some on the wheels and let it sit for about 30 minutes and he started buffing them and it fuccing worked. just wow

Take a electric sander hit it with the 400 grit and go up to 2000grit then hit it with mothers...I did that with the wheels I got

A lot of those ideas posted above should work

Never-dull, polishers, coke. Def use the never dun on a dremel or buffer
