I'm probably going to go this route with my chrome Euromax 612's...... chrome on the front side is fine but the back section is showing some issues...... I figure sanding and prime then paint should give me a few summers before more drastic measures need to happen.

I pulled my Euromax's off and am in the process of prepping them for powdercoating.

If you are going to paint the backside of a chrome wheel, I would suggest a heavy coat of clear.

IIRC, those were Chrome steelies, & were sprayed silver after wirebrush scrub...

POR-15 will stick to anything with a rough surface. It's especially fond of fingers.
