[Stk1514]

Newbie- Just purchased 06 Duramax LT Ext Cab w/120,00 miles,  Looking to have Alloy wheels reconditioned, 

Who or Where can the wheels be reconditioned?

Thanks

Subscribing. My folks have an 07 Sierra Duramax with the 16" alloys. They're starting to look like crap. The clear is peeling and they're getting discolored.

Look locally for a polish shop or a truck detailing place. Most big cities have a place that straightens bent alloy wheels and they can recondition also.

Plan to pull the tires off the rims to do it right...

 I’ve been researching this issue for a little while as well on my 20” denali wheels.  With the quotes I’ve been getting I might as well buy brand new aftermarket wheels or fairly new factory take offs.  I talked to a friend of mine who does metal  polishing and he advised not to polish them because of how often they will tarnish, that I would be much better off having them re-chromed.  After having them sandblasted and re-chromed I’d be looking at around $1200  I found a few new take off sets with new tires for the same price on craigslist

Well I spent the $$$ had Charlie @ G3 Aluminum Wheel Polishing do his Magic......

Had to wait 5 weeks due to his schedule,  but it was SO worth it!

 

UNBELIEVEABLE!

I bought a set of cheap after market aluminum wheels. They were heavily stained and corroded. After trying to clean them up with steel wool, and a wire brush - I gave up. I was going to sell them as scrap. Last ditch effort I soaked them in battery acid for 2 hours. After that, they cleaned up very easily and look beautiful. I'm amazed how well it worked. I have had them on my rig for a few months and they still look great.

Chicago Wheel and Rim salvaged the $800 a pop and discontinued factory chrome ten spokes on my Buick for $110 each.
