Simple enough in theory: use paintstripper or bead blasting to remove old paint and corrosion, repair any kerbing with filler or careful filing, then repaint using etch primer then paint then clearcoat lacquer.

Best to ensure that the wheel isn't buckled before commencing work on it.

Pretty simple really. No need for a really in depth guide.

how much you offering for the wheels E30DEN? they are nearly finished now, paint stripped them and they were mint underneath, ive autosoled two of the wheels and the faces and rims are now polished and going to do the inset parts black..... i do have an original set of 15" bbs wheels that are mint with center caps that have been blasted and powdercoated up for offers, they are dead true and no flatspots or marks..... thanks for the input guys

the underside is being stripped down at the moment.
