I am about to refinish the bundts on my SD and because of the problems accessing the Wurth paint I ordered the wheel refinishing kit from Griot's Garage. I've heard and read that it produces excellent results. The instruction sheet that comes with the kit suggests walnut shell or glass bead blasting the wheels before priming/painting/clear coating. If that is too much to consider, I've read that Easy Off oven cleaner and a stiff brush will do a thorough job of cleaning the wheels of old, hardened brake dust. My wheels have lost their gloss entirely and are stained so I am looking forward to refreshing their appearance, and I am also looking forward to reinstalling them with new tires. The previous owner had installed way oversize tires that impart a chunky look but are too wide and make the car feel like it's running on water balloons.
