Wheel Pitting

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
