Had my hubcaps stolen today 1909

It can be removed by sandblasting, but then you are in for a LOT of work! Here is a link for refinishing Fiero wheels, but can be applied to any aluminum wheel. I had my Corolla GTS boosted 11 years ago, they stole my gold anodized factory wheels. I found some similar wheels on a Celica in a junkyard. I followed this to the letter and they look like chrome! I am going to have them gold anodized again; the anodizing process dulls the finish somewhat, so I made tham as polished as I could. Should we lower speed limits while the Oil War in Iraq is going on Look at the CAFE numbers. Greater mileage in the city than on the highway? This is backward. There is less resistance at city driving speeds than highway speeds... Here's a link: Thanks out to Daniel Stern Earlier this week I got the 7440A (amber) bulbs and Narva Range Power 50 H1 I ordered from him last week... It is a LOT of work; about 3-4 hours per wheel, but when you get done they look absolutely GREAT! I would then have them powder coated again. In my case, anodizing will put a hard finish about 2 mm deep, so they don't need powder coating. I sanded them by HAND, if I used some kind of sander for the first sanding steps I could probably cut about an hour off the time. I have 2 more to do (I only started this project 2 years ago...) I also sanded the machining marks right off, right down to a smooth finish.
