So I bought those wire wheels from that garage firer and I am trying to clean them up. Nothing has worked very well except lacquer thinner and rages. I was hoping someone might have some ideas. I tried my pressure washer, but the soot just hung in there and the lacquer thinner softens the old paint. What I will probably end up doing is some bead blasting after the lacquer thinner cleaning. What a mess. Anyways does anyone know of a place to get those little rubber inserts where the inner tube comes through the wheel?
