Default Re: wire wheel rust removal question...........

I would be cautious of the electrolysis method on wire wheels. I've used the process on a lot of sheet metal and frame components. I thought it would work well on 16" KH wire wheels which it did clean paint and rust very well. The one thing I did notice was that every wheel would have a couple of "broken spokes" afterwards. I think the process stresses high tensile components as the wheels did not show broken spokes prior to the dip.

Just my thoughts and experiences on wheels, I've had no issues with later 16" V8 disc wheels. Paul J.
