H2 rust... derusting it...
side steps removed... thankgoodness i had a air ratchet wrench...
now i know why there were so many rust flakes... i removed the plastic steps which were covering in those holes you see... and water seeped in thru the gaps and stayed in the tube causing it to rust out.... this design is bad...
i need to think how i can prevent more water from seeping in thru the gaps... when the plastic steps are mounted back..

not sure how much it could remove.... but i have dipped this rim for 12 hrs now in OXALIC ACID
.. seems to have removed all chrome rusted spots... i want to strip off all the chrome then powder coat the rims... might have to return to elbow grease ...
