Looks like chrome not polished, so re-polishing might clean up but to fix you are going to have to re-chrome them I would strip the shit out of the chrome then paint silver like BBS or strip the chrome then polish the shit out of them, easy repairs next time aroundWTB

Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking about just stripping them and re-polishing.
May have scored them for free but I guess after repairing them I'll end up around the cost of a set of replicas lol.

sadly, that is chrome, not polished. you can't just strip chrome and polish it, so that option is out. you either have to (1) have them rechromed, (2) have them dechromed, then polish (expensive process) or (3) clean up the flaking/pitting and paint over the chroms.
good luck!025garage

haha, i had a feeling that was the point. yeah good luck with the chrome, they are going to need to be de-chromed to make it worthwhile to do anything further to them unfortunatelysigpic

Well thankfully I just sold 2 old shitty paintball guns and have enough to have the lip repaired on Monday when PayPal comes through. After the lip is fixed, I'm going to have them hit my wheels with their cleaning products which presumably are much more effective than my Mother's Polish and microfiber rags.
Also, took a shitload of pictures today of the car these are going on. I'll post them tomorrow.
