Not that I am a big fan of chrome, I found out just how tough Toyota chrome is.
Had a set of stock chrome rims in really rough shape left over from Eric’s donor. Needed to use them to mount up my new tires. I wasn’t looking forward to cleaning them up at all. But since I was planning on painting them anyway I brought out some rather rough tools for the job. A wire wheel mounted on my 5″ grinder.
To my surprise all the wire wheel did was pull off the junk and surface rust. It even polished up the chrome somewhat. So if you have a set of rusty chrome rims don’t be afraid to go after the rust with a wire wheel.
