Alloy Rims, how much corrosion is too much ?

[kdx Geoff]

 



30 year old alloy rim, I've cleaned it up a bit and it feels solid......

If this is serviceable, how should a treat it to stop further deterioration.

Thanks

That's probably fine. Pick/chip out the splinters and make an assessment from there.
I've seen rims with MUCH worse corrosion, and they'd been holding up fine to some hard use.

To protect it further, get rid of all the loose stuff and just paint it.

buff or wire out on inside and coat of ally paint?
Bloody cow turds not washed off does that to the good side

Geoff,I'd be inclined to tidy it up with a quick blast if glass bead,see if Perrows can offer some advice on a treatment otherwise a coat of etch primer may be enough.

Going to do that Lewis but...... it wont fit in the cabinet Wire brush will do.
