200s American Racing (coke bottle)
I finally found me a set of these rims for the C10. Lucked out in my opinion. But.... I need to know what process you guys have used to paint rims and treat rust. Any particular products or procedures? I will put pics up tomorrow some time

Re: 200s American Racing (coke bottle)
What vintage 200s are they? I treat mine with Gibbs oil and that is all. They turned a nice darker gray. This picture is when they were basically NOS out of the box and on my Lemans. I will try to get you a pic after they were treated. If you do not seal them the magnesium will oxidize and you will see white fuzzy powder forming on them.

Re: 200s American Racing (coke bottle)
Those are called Daisys. They still make them brand new 5 on 5
I would sand blast the inner and polish the outer rim.

Back on topic, if these are really 200S wheels, treat them as has been mentioned to remove corrosion. They are not steel, BTW, so it isn't "rust" per se. A pic would be most informative.

Re: 200s American Racing (coke bottle)
Funny I was just looking at an old Hot Rod mag (not sure the year) and it had an ad for the all new 200S wheels, the originals were magnesium and are very rare. I'm going to run out to the shop and see if I left it out or boxed it up. Ill scan it if I can find it.
Well I couldn't find it, Ill scan it next time I stumble on it.
