So, just wanted to let everyone know I'm new, so I apologize if this is in the wrong location.

I picked up a 96 camaro a couple months ago, and have been doing a lot of work to the engine, suspension, etc. Needed a lot more work than I thought when I bought it.
However, one thing I don't know how to do, is fix my rims. It would appear the previous owner hit curbs a few times which has caused some damage to the rims.


So the black part of the rim, is pretty much damage free, just has wear and tear towards the center. My primary concern is the silver ring, which is very jagged and roughed up from what I can only assume was hitting curbs.

So My question is basically, what methods can I take to smooth out the silver portion of the rim? In the best possible scenario, I'm looking to completely refinish the rims, redo the black, and add a chrome finish to the silver.

Also, just for the sake of it, here's a picture of the car itself

OK - a few items:

#1 - To truly fix them at a wheel shop it would probably cost $150 a wheel....
#2 - Those look like OE Wheels - Z06 - But I haven't seen them make the black with rivets in a while - so you may not be able order new ones any longer....
#3 - OE Wheels have a number of newer options that are about the same cost as fixing them, so you can update the look for about the same cost as fixing the issue.

I notice from your IP adress that you are from Delhi, India. Are there many Camaros in India?

Just wanted to apologize for the delay, things slowed down here after a very lengthy winter, so most of the ongoing work was with the engine and chassis.

Wanted to thank everyone for the input for the time being, supposed to warm up quite a bit in the next week so I'll be taking a look at them.

96 Z 28; They're definitely Z06, but they're aftermarkets C5. Putting the work into refinishing them isn't a problem for me, but finding out all the rivets are fake plastic, glued in, made it a bit more of an annoying thing.
(Also there is a site that still sells the black with rivets, price is a little high though)

Usually, ordering new rims would be cheaper. Except I live in Canada, so once it hits the border, I get a reaming. I'll probably give refinishing them a shot first, and if it goes poorly, I'll likely have to bite the bullet and order a new set.

Injuneer; Thanks for the links, I'll be sure to give them a read.
