i would sugest sandblasting the wheels. this insures that the rust is gone and also that the appearance wont be changed to much by pits unlike covering over rust which causes lumps. you might check out local high schools metal shops or auto shops to see if they own a sand blaster. then ask if the students could do the job as a project for credit in the class. and thats my 2 cents Dillon On Mon, 7 Apr 1997, Cooper N.
