Paint on one of my original wheels was starting to peel and the rust was getting a pretty good hold. It was also running onto my white walls. I pulled the wheel and wire brushed it down to good meta, front and back. I used a trick my brother told me about. I let the air out of the tire and insert playing cards around the outside of the rim between the rim and the tire. It saved me front breaking down the tire and pulling it off the rim. I was able to paint the wheel without painting the tire. While I had it all off I also pulled the break drum and cleaned and painted it. I thought it was a good idea until I looked at my other 3 wheels. Now I am going to have to do them. Oh well., if it wasn't cleaning and painting the wheels it would be something else. It hurts so good.
