hi everyone i recently bought a est of rims off a forum member and i'm just trying to clean them up
this is what has built up on them:
been told its corrosion.
and i want to give them a really fine sanding 2000 or 1200grit sand paper. but i need to take out the center piece to do this.
how do i go about this? can i just undo all the bolts (obviously i'd work out what they need to be torqued back up to) and that center piece will just come out? or is this all part of the wheel?
want to do this in a safe way so i dont put them back on and have my rims •••• them self's when i'm driving

Shane, My wheels have done the same thing.
Its the clear coat coming off the polished steel. If you sand it you will need to go all the way back to metal then re-clear. If you just give them a light sand it will make very little difference.
It might be easier to get them media blasted, polished and then re-cleared.
