I keep it in the trunk.?
That said my other 4 wheels are beat up and probably need to be polished/refinished.?
If I did, I would wax the wheel surfaces afterwards.
Not sure there is anything else that can be done to protect them. I suppose these new ceramic coats would work, but don¡¯t have any experience on vintage metal.

| | 1a.? | Refinishing Wolfrace wheels?
From:?palmer.jeff@...
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 20:13:03 PST? I'd like to have my Wolfrace wheels refinished as the clear coat has yellowed and oxidation has occurred in areas where the clear coat has lifted from the aluminum. I have tentively selected a wheel refinisher, but I'm a bit reluctant to have it done as it will require machining of the surface. Has anyone had their Wolfrace wheels refinished and is there anything to be concerned about? As a note, the wheels are in otherwise perfect condition with not a single nick to any of the rims.
Thanks,
Jeff? | |
