wetsanding chrome?
wetsanding chrome? My front wheels have had some pitting on them ever since i got them. it has never really bothered me because you cant see unless you sit down and look at the wheels. but i was curious if it was possible to lightly wetsand chrome or would you just sand through the down to the metal?
Do not use steel wool on chrome!!!
Use chrome polish and even still it might scratch the wheels very slightly.....
Are your wheels Chrome or aluminum?? polishing and wetsanding is for alum. only and thats if there is no clear coat on them. If so it will have to be stripped off.

okay cool. i was always under the impression that they were chromed. if you check my sig you can see them. they are the 17x9.5f and 18x10.5 rear.
Some folks sent stock C5Z wheels off to be chromed - and in the pics these appear to be some like I mentioned. Be careful unless you want to mess up a good set of wheels. Regardless, even if you can get the chrome off you'll have to polish out whats underneath - chrome looks good but is not fixable from rash or hard abrasions.
