Are DeLorean rims the WORST rims on the planet to clean?!
UGH! I'm Plasti Dipping my rims to see how well they stand up, how they look, etc., and you have to make sure that the surface is CLEAN!
Well... the front rim was... okay. Not too hard. But the back rim. AWFUL! With a 1700PSI pressure washer, Eagle Wheel & Tire Cleaner (3 times!) and multiple sprays (focused between each fin!) - I just could not get the inside corners clean!
I had to use a cloth and my pinky finger to dig down to each corner to get it clean. UGH!
I really do love to look/design of the rims on the car... but WHAT A PAIN TO CLEAN!!
I don't suppose someone has figured out, or found a product or tool that makes it any easier to clean the rims perfectly other than dipping the whole rim in acid! lol)
Did everything in the 90's come with fake BBS wheels
If you are going to coat them why not take them to get media (soda) blasted? Heck, a shop could also powder-coat them too. Last thing I had done was a manifold and I think it was like $40. $200 for new looking wheels might not be too bad. I know you most likely desire some exotic pinkish color. Maybe a tie-die hydro-grafic or zebra stripes. Then get one of them zebra head costumes to wear with some 80's Zubaz pants. That would be totally RAD man.
