Wheel Pitting

[danchapman2k2]

Been searching around google etc and cant seem to find the answer so wondering if someone does here.

In the attached image you can see some pitting sort of a rusty pitting. doesnt look like a full rust but there a rust pitting! Anyway has anyone got any ideas at all to bring them up a bit.

Cheap option - wire brush (drill attachment), rust prime, spray and lacquer

Expensive option - shot blast and get powder coated

Thanks for the reply

I thought you would say that and wasnt a way round it. I can spray etc myself thats no problems but wasnt sure if there was a easier way then having to take each wheel off and spraying them!

On the steel wheel convo - do you rate the steel discovery rims for a defender. These came with the landy so thought i might as well find out what your view is and whether i should go with what i think and buy myself some aftermarket ones at somepoint. Or spraying these up etc will they give me the flexibilty to get some good tyres on it!

Afraid I need someone else to advise - only ever had the standard steels on my Defender - know there's a number of threads on different make after market wheels on LZ

Yer i have seen a few threads but im hoping these steels can do the job and get some good tyres on them. As i want to do more interior bits etc first before i start buying wheels for it. Hopefully someone can come along and help soon.

Thanks for your advise though very helpful
