Got the Nitromors, W & D, Flitz Buffball, Autosol, all ready to go, nice Sunday morning job.
Snag, tried undoing one of the stud "nuts" with a Mole wrench , nut snapped off and certainly looks like plastic/nylon. Do I snap off all the heads and centre punch them out from this side, as on  the inside of the rim the stud has a flat head ?

Solution !!!
The flat head on the inside of the rim has got a cross cut in it so if you use a thin slothead screwdiver as a drift, a few firm wacks with a hammer will either drive the stud out completely or break it up enough to use a centre punch or similar to remove. Finish it off by running a suitable drill through at slow speed to clean it out.

Great job... you still got them? thumbright

The wheels on the new family car havent been looked after so dug out this how to...
then grabbed some rough paper and went out to give them a little rub down to see how bad the worms were.

There not too bad its just seems to be the lacquer is bubbly or worms in it so once removed its just a choice of polish or lacquer the centre again.

What would you do?

I ran a set of polished Shelby mags on my Mustang, looked great and much admired. Polish them up now and again, I think the polish may have an anti oxydent in it.

Great job you've done there.

Here ya go guys, here is another set ive just done, took me approx 6 hours over 3 days, i got these recently on a car i bought so took them off and replaced with a cheap standard set.
Although very straight and unscuffed they were heavily pitted with alot of surface corrosion but i love the way they sit on the car, they are 7.5j with a good offset so they give a Paj a nice stance and topped off with a cracking set of 31 x 10.5 Enduros they were just asking to be refurbed.

This is how they started





Half an hour later after a good going over with a wire brush attachment in a drill



I know these would of looked better polished but i took the easy way out this time as i needed them finished quick.

Masking off







Forgot to take pics primed up lol

First base coat and couldnt resist trying the center caps



2nd coat







Last coat on and drying



Remove masking and add just a touch of tyre sheen and jobs a good un





Total cost £12.80 and six hours graft to bring an old set of wheels back to life, the center caps i already had they came free in a car i bought last year, but they go for about £15.

But yeah nice result ... well happy  Very Happy
