I recently picked up a nice set of American Racing Aluminum Slots. They're in decent driver condition but they do have a little bid of pitting (minimal)... Anyone have any tips on what will get rid of them help to make the wheels look real nice? Also, the center caps look worse than the wheels so I think I'll buy new ones. Does anyone know if they are available in the aftermarket? Thanks for any replys...........

You can actually File and Grind out deep pitting and scratched areas in aluminum which leaves the surface rather rough, then wet sand with until you get to around 600 grit and finally finish off with Polishing Compound and Clean Cotton Cotton Sheets. Lots of work but once achieved the Rims will respond to normal aluminum care products.
