Corroding alloys
Is it posible to "shine up" my original alloys on my thema turbo 1992. I saw some alloys like mine in Italy and they were shining!

Re: Corroding alloys
Villads,
I have had Lancias for 10 years now with these wheels and it becomes a hobby!They are painted metallic grey and machined off at the face on a lathe.They are then clear laquered.
The wheels on my first Lancia with these wheels were refinished in 1991 on warranty and needed to be redone a year or so later;Lancia paid half.
The logistics of it are difficult unless you have two sets because the people who refinish them here in England only want the wheels or they charge more.My current Dedra wheels are generally shiny but once the laquer breaks they corrode.I will swap them for the other set when they need to be refinished.Jaguar used a similar idea and had problems because of the laquer on the sharp corners you get by lathe turning the face!
I know it looks good , it is a good way of finding if a Lancia is run with "no expense spared".
I wo'nt describe the fun of cleaning my Integrale alloys on my Delta with a tooth brush though!
cheers and good luck
Simon

Dear Simon
Thanks!
Is it possible to do the job myself? I don´t know anyone in Denmark who can do the job.
Yours Sincerely
Villads
