[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 135907, member: 597"] If the original "Dunlops" are in good general condition and not badly pitted, then you can re plate them........I would suggest this be only done once........The other trap is the rolled outer bead which can hold the chemicals from previous plating and this can become weak from internal corrosion........If the rims have already been re plated before and the markings are a bit thin, I would not bother........The Devon rims are the most accurate copies of the originals when it comes to the profile of the rims.........I prefer them to any others that I've had before........Unfortunately they refuse to sell rims that are coach lined oversees on account of the possible damage to them........ I think they are wrong, as I've had ones from Central in the UK and they showed up painted and nicely protected, no problem. [/QUOTE]
