Nothing on the wheels are coated, only spoke ends have retained their original "gold" plating, whatever it is.

What specifically are we referring to as the "nipple", the spoke ends?
If so, a magnet does stick to the gold spoke ends
Did some polishing today...good enough for a stocker.
Very nice indeed! What steps do you take to get those results?
I’ve just began learning to polish.
The same citrus stripper to get rid of the factory clear coat I used on my wheels.
Polish with "white" rouge on my 3/4 HP polisher, nuthin to it, half hour later it looks this...but do it outside as it is a dirty job.
A rivnut, I like that. Seems much simpler and easier than welding something in there. What type did you use? Steel, stainless steel, aluminum?
