It looks like the finish on my 10 holes is peeling. Is there any way to refinish these wheels? I was thinking maybe wet sanding them and shooting some clear on them.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

wetsand and buff. I wouldnt spray any clear on them, as it will likely yellow. If you dont want to do a lot of buffing, sand and spray them with some aluminum wheel paint.

Thanks! I'll try buffing them this weekend. What grit sandpaper should I use?

1500 grit or higher anything lower will cut and scratch. I would personally use tripple 000 steel wool as it is the finest and will not scare the wheels. You will also be able to get into the groves with steel wool unlike the sandpaper. Just my 2 cents worth of advice. Brian
