Hey Fireball - funny thing is, I did exactly that just last weekend.
I finally got around to refurbishing the OEM Alloy wheels on my '97 KZN185' as I was itching to fit the new Hankook Dynapro RA33's that I have read
so much about - I thought it best to get the lot done at once, obviously starting with the wheels.
Join Date: Jul 2013 Initially I was going to re-polish the machine-polished surfaces (as mentioned) & powder coat all other cast area's but then after a patch test &
Location: N.Wales - UK realising the Alloy quality I decided to just go ahead & coat the entire wheel.
