I agree.

I would be inclined towards powdercoating them in a flat silver to avoid such a fate.

Removing the white corrosion in the lacquer is quite easy just needs patience. .im currently refurbing a set of M355 alloys that have either kerb marks or corrosion on them..same as the 313's these are diamond turned and then lacquered, I've rubbed away the lacquer and sanded out the kerb marks with 80 grit then polished by hand upto 1200 grit and then I've rattle can sprayed with lacquer and honestly there good as new...

I've even done a spoke on one that had two bad surface chips, it just patience and practice but you can save yaself a hell of a lot of cash..I got mine cheap due to kerb marks and have now added easily £100 to there value for a tenner...

I'll admit I've done a few sets now but if you make a hash you can just resand and try again...

youve done well there mate. how did you do it just sand em down and respray like a normal refurb? what paint did you use to respray them?

Brian mc21 · 02-25-2015, 10:58 AM

No spraying or paint involved whatsoever. Just sanded all the lacquer off the polished faces then polished them up. The polished faces are all now just bare alloy. I give them a polish up every few washes and have had no trouble with corrosion as yet. My car is washed at least once a week. By the way the first picture is one I have sanded but not yet polished next to how they all looked before I started. I had next to no kerbing on them but took a small file to any that there was.

holmefield · 02-25-2015, 12:30 PM

The biggest problem with un lacquered polished alloys is keeping on top of them and really you need a hand held rotary polisher..

Brian mc21 · 02-25-2015, 12:52 PM

I have one but to be honest for all of an area there is its autosol on a rag and a bit of finger work for me.

dy63 · 02-25-2015, 06:24 PM

So to the wheel gurus out there. Tell me have i bought original or replicas?

dy63 · 02-25-2015, 06:29 PM

Trying again shit app

Brian mc21 · 02-26-2015, 01:06 AM

Hard to tell from the pics - is it just the angle or do they have more of a flat finish than polished?

richk84 · 02-26-2015, 03:21 AM

Check the stamps on the back of the wheels, that's the definite way. Visually, reps are not that concave - especially on the rear

dy63 · 02-26-2015, 03:47 AM

i know what they are. i am just asking your guys opinions....

holmefield · 02-26-2015, 07:35 AM

There genuine me finks, going off the pics..

ahmedb · 02-26-2015, 07:52 AM

If they are reps, they are very good reps. Look like oem to me with that much concavity.
