As soon as that chrome finish start peeling off your rims become unsightly.An easy way to fix that is to totally remove the finish and dye the rims. In this tutorial I’ll go through the steps in order about removing that finish and dying the rim.
For this project you will need oven cleaner, RIT Dye, a Ziploc bag, and nylon or vinyl disposable gloves (optional).
Note: Oven cleaners contain very dangerous chemicals and hand, eye, and mouth protection is highly recommended.
