Have my whees back from the machine shop. They cut the centers to fit hub centric hubs. Here a few questions about the clean up before refinishing them.
All around the inside if the wheel are pairs of holes spaced about 4" apart. I'll probably fill them with JB Weld. Do you think they're from manufacture or prior repairs? And. After an hour is scrubbing with several wheel cleaners and scratch pads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) the inside is still covered in years of soaked in grime. Short of sandblasting would it be ok to hit them with a brass soft wire wheel or the likes? What else works to get the grime off? And OK to file down and fill in the gouges with JB?

Will do. Already used Purple and Green cleaners, aluminum wheel cleaner, brake dust remover and sandpaper. I'm down to the smooth surface but this stuff is down in the pores.
Any thoughts on jb weld in the gouges? Will it stay in or be thrown out? |
