ss 10 spokes
ss 10 spokes I have original 17in chrome rims that chrome is coming off, What are my options? Would it be cheaper to re-chrome them or get a new set? what options do i have..
Mine are starting to flake too.
If you see a set of narrowed (~6") chrome 10-spokes
around Brevard, be sure and let me know. They're probably
mine that got stolen (along with my ET Streets on another
stock-width pair).
I'm figuring I'll just get a tube of silver "Rub-n-Buff" and
use that to hide the black patches. Chrome wheels and
salt fog aren't a good long term relationship.

seems like flaking is a common occurance on 10 spokes. I don't see why no one carries a knock off version of them. 10 spoke deep dish anyone? I'd be on the list for sure

I've always wanted to strip a set of those 10 spoke wheels and paint them black and leave the face silver, kind of like the 35th anniversary wheels look. That would look killer!!!
x2 its a good look. I was very close to stripping my silver 10 spokes and doing that, then my heart got set on deep dish zr1s and I hit buy it now
I still may do it and put drag radials on them
I also had a set with just the lip and spokes polished and still silver between the spokes. I paid $100 for a full set to have any curb rash repaired and polished. I sold these as well. These looked great.

it is an absolute PITA to strip them. i had to get mine bead blasted to get all the factory primer off, now mine are just aluminum with no paint or anything
mine flake too. they started on the inside of the rim and it was making it's way to the lip. i actually cut my hand on it and took out part of my tire. i think i still have a small air leak. i spent a couple hours with a die grinder and about 10 little 1" sanding pads and barely pulled it off.
there's a guy near where i live that does powdercoating for $50 a wheel. i've seen some of his work on motorcycle parts, and it is definitely good work. and it's $50 complete from start to finish. i've been contemplating coating mine but i just like the chrome too much. plus i don't know would look good with pewter.
