Wheel minor Restoration - Peregrine HP-48s

[punkdSICO]

Hi all

Just got some fabbo Peregrine HP-48 wheels.  Quality is: very nice rider..  But, I want to make them a bit nicer     So,

1) one of the Suzue hub (5B stamped) is a little course running.  I think it is sealed.  How can I improve this?  Im used to stripping down Skyway hubs.  At the weekend ill see how far I can strip it..

2) the rims say "use HP-40 tires only".  I presume this is bollox?  I have some HP40 tires but not sure if I will be riding them as they are currently un-used.

3) the rear rim is a little scratched.  Being aluminium, can i polish these out?  Im building a workshop and intend to get a bench grinder so, in a month or so, I will have access to a polishing machine..  Pictures of the straches here:

They say they are sealed hubs but they are only semi-sealed. The front looks normal to me and the back has the plastic seal. They can be stripped and greased like loose ball hubs 

They say only use HP tyres as they wanted you to buy their tyres back in the day  Any tyre will do depending what you will be doing on the bike 

My speedlines had scratches too but I buffed the worst out quite easily
