'74 2.0
I am down to the final parts of the rebuild, Tires and wheels. I will be sending the wheels out for new rubber, a cleaning. mounting and balancing. I would hate to put these hubs back on........however, they are original so I will keep them and try and clean em up. Anyone pioneer a method of de-denting these? Polishing, etc? I want them to look like this! |

Mahle’s are very soft cast wheels. They are often dented or flat spotted from potholes or curbs. You can get them fixed but the cost will be the same or more than a nice set of 4 lug Fuchs (that are forged and much more durable)
