I picked up a set of Spoon wheels and they have lost their Flat blk color, they are more of a flat grey now. Is there any way to bring them back to life? I don't want them to be as shiney as the Rota slipstreams though. sorry tfor big pics.

do you know what material this is?
got pics?

 

it's forged aluminum. I'll post pics tomorrow. I know this is not recomended but i put meguiars tire, vinyl and rubber treatment on them and they looked perfect, of course then it washed right off.

 

Pics would help. Putting on vinyl and rubber treatment is definitely NOT something that you want to do. You may have some oxidation on the wheels.

 

sorry for the big pics.

 

They look fine to me
If they are fading then it might just be oxidation which can be removed with a paint cleaner.

 

i was informed that the spoons were actually anodized, any suggestions ar will paint cleaner work also? What kind of paint cleaner?

 

Any chance you can get some closer pics? From that distance, they look fine. Are there some specific trouble spots that you are noticing?

 

I'll try to get close ups tomorrow in the sun. They are anodized so i don't think there is an easy fix...
