Post subject: late type 16v wheel refurbishing
Hello all
This has been covered briefly in another post a while ago, but I wanted some more information.
I have a set of 155v6 wheels (same as late type 16v ones, only an inch bigger) which are in poor condition and need refurbishing. These are the Speedline split rim style ones with a polished rim.
The "bolts" I have discovered, aren't really bolts and are just plastic - is it possible to remove them without damaging them? (I know on some Zender wheels which are fake split rims, the bolts do actually unscrew so that you can clean the wheels properly).
What's the best way to go about getting them refurbished? I know a lot of places will use some kind of chemical dip to remove old paint etc, but I'm concerned this will dissolve the plastic "bolts". Is it better to get them blasted? Anyone know of anywhere in the south west who could be entrusted to do this?
Thanks for your help
Rich
