just purchased some old Araya 1.75 rims in Chrome OS to lace with my orig GT hubs and to go on my GT but the Chrome is peeling how do you get it off and suggestions on coats and finishes and estimated costs please !!

Oh they are OK ISH but like all of us I want them to be perfect ! isit worth the hassel and costs or do I lace em as is ??

Thanks  in advance

Best to take them to chromers for them to chemically remove the chrome - you night be able to get them to redo them or just highly polish them for you too

Sounds a better option and means they will not have to suffer the same expereince and when they are polished correctly they look j as good any other thoughts !!

you are better off just geting them polished as chrome tends to lift due to oxidisation,i had a pair of chrome ukais which pealed after about 6 months

Yep, alloy can be a right pain in the rear to chrome - I'd get them de-chromed then and polish them instead
