To get a professional restoration on a rim like this, your looking at ATLEAST $1000 per rim.



Original GTS rims are not chromed, they are painted steel rims. If you see chromed ones then someone has had them done aftermarket.

Expect to pay around $100ea for good restorable rims but if you're lucky you may get some cheaper, just check them for buckles and flogged out stud holes. You can then get them sandblasted and painted or do it yourself.

I have a plastic 200 litre drum with a screw on lid which is full of diluted Molasses, drop the rims into it for five or so days and they come out clean as a whistle. Saves me a fortune on sandblasting parts.
