Default Back to CMP rims.....

When you are originally restoring your CMP rims take the time to carefully clean the inside of the rim to bare metal and paint with high gloss paint.

I have used POR 15 glossy black after sandblasting....... used regular tire shop tire lub snotty stuff on the bead........ removing a tire now is relatively easy....and so is the installation...... all in the anticipation of having to remove them like Harry pointed out.... a little zinc based Never Sieze on the studs is a blessing month later on the side of the road.
