I can not remember if it is a steel rims that has
been chromed on the face or if it is a aluminum wheel that has been chrome(Can
you chrome aluminum??).
I also wanted to note that I do not want to
paint them unless it is the only quick/cheap fix. I am afraid that painting
the rims will look tracky. I'm sure there is a way to paint them and make it
look good, but I am not sure.

My 1971 Chevelle is just days from being
completely finished. All the body work and painting is done and the
interior is almost finished. I have just one problem. I have what I call
fake centerline wheels which are rusty up. I can not buy new rim for the
car at this time. I do not know if I will be able to clean up the rims.
First I wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on how I might clean up the
rim and polish them the best I can. Second, what about painting the rims.
If I do paint them, how would be the best way to paint over chrome and
what color should I paint them. The car is Blackwatch green firemist. This
is a very dark green with three types and sizes to sparkle. The interior
is tan. I have to do something to the wheel because the car look so nice.
If I don't clean the wheel up somehow, it will make me look stupid.
Any ideas.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Chrome Rims
I too, would be interested in the best way to paint over chrome. I assume you would just need to rough it up with some 220 or so grit sandpaper, prime it and shoot nice thin coats of paint? I would like to paint my chrome valve covers (lettering part only), that says "MOROSO", with engine heat temp paint and leave the rest of the valve cover chrome. Thoughts?
