A rub down (or sand blast) until the oxidation has gone and then a repaint

They need etch priming as part of the repaint process. Otherwise the paint wil flake off in a short while.

Hi.

When you've had your wheel/s refurbed, I can recommend Auto Glym Alloy Wheel Seal. You spray this onto the inside of the alloy and it repels dirt and brake dust making them a lot easier to clean. Make sure you take the wheels off before applying. You don't want to get this stuff on your brake discs.

Hope this helps.
