I've heard of people clear powder coating the wheels after they are polished...I don't know how it hold up though?

Thanks Bruce. Only want to address the backs of the wheels as they would be a bear to clean up with all of the nooks/crannies/pores etc.

On the subject of wheeling polishing......can anybody recommend a vendor to remove dings & polish 70 Z-28 15x7 Trim Rings, 14x7 Rally Trim Rings, and the Stainless Dish portion of my 1970 PO-2 caps........

Major problem on dings is galvanized backing ring prevents you from hammering out defect.

I would like someone to try polishing ring while mounted on turning wheel.........

I recently bought a full set of vintage American 15x7 Torq Thrust D's. Is there any way to date these wheels? Previous owner said they are 1966 vintage but I cannot find a date code.

Thanks,
Tony
