what rims are they..?

i had the same problem w/ mine before and i just kept trying and it worked after i brought a small mouse sander into the equation.

if all else fails bring it to a shop that specializes in powder coating wheels. i think the will use media? blast on soft aluminum (please do not quote me) all i know is that there are different types of methods they can use.
