    '65 KnockOff Wheels

    I have a set of 65 Western Wheel K-H Repro Knockoffs that have been in storage for a long, long time. There is some discoloration on top of the individual fins and on the radius-beveled rim edges that I have tried to remove using a polishing compound, with unsatisfactory results. Has anyone else tackled this problem with greater success that could share something that will remove this discoloration and get me back to an as-new aluminum appearance, or as close to an as-new aluminum appearance as possible. I just didnt want to get too aggressive with them right off the bat without asking for some other opinions.

    Thanks in Advance for Any Assistance...

    I have a set of original KO's that were in storage for many years. The fins were discolored, but only oxidation(not shiney, but white). I cleaned the individual fins using only steel wool 000. When they were shiney, I went over them with Eagle One Never Dull wading polish. They have been on my car for about 4 years, and still look great. This process takes some time, so be patient and good luck.
