    Thanks. I started doing the rims today and we tried many different techniques. We ended up finding this airplane paint stripper and used that all over the rim to get all brake dust and rust off. Then we polished the whole wheel with a drill and a wire head. Then we sand blasted parts that we could not reach with that. Then we scrubbed the lip and stuff with very fine sandpaper. Then painted 2 coats on top of that and then we quit for the day. We only got two wheels done so we will have to finish the other two tomorrow. But thanks again for all the tips.
