The rims that came with the truck when I bought it in November 2010. I try everything to get the corrison off the rims and it isn't helping. It is aluminum rims. I was thinking about sanding it down and painting it black. Here are the pictures of the rims.

Closer view of the rims to show what going on with it.

 

If you clean them up they will just go back to the same unless you put a clear coat on them.

 

yeah....i would strip them then go clear or black.

 

Ok I will try strip it then go black on it then clear coat over it. Have to wait until I get a couple of things pay off then I will do it. At least I know one more thing to do this summer

 

If you want black that's cool. I think they look better polished and clear coated IMO. Im from the shiny chrome era.
