RE: Repainting Rims.

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

I concur, particularly with your technical description of the visual status.
Mine also look like kaka. I wonder if we need to remove the (fake) screws to
get them fixed? I believe mine are clearcoated on top of bare metal on the
rim part, and clear on top of silver paint on the spider part. If you find a
source and method to get them fixed, I would be interested (bulk purchase of
fix-em-up service?).
