Have a look at the attached and give me an opinion as to the degree of refurb you would go for and yes I know the bolts are rusty but so are those parts of the car that Heineken cannot reach.

The Alloys are original and are thus 11.5 years old.

No choice I think other than all over, it would be the only way to go.

You have not been cleaning your calipers :shock:

Looking
Given the fact you have some corrosion then probably best to have a full strip. Be aware that sometimes this needs to be done twice on old wheels and then with aggressive shot blasting the powdercoat is applied quite heavily to hide the peening.
