white alloy hubbed skyways

on to a resto of a pair of white tuff 2s now,the 1st picture still shows some evidence of brake rub after 1/2 hr with 800 grade wet and dry, the wheels were refinished by some fool in a rather nice shade of Ford diamond white, this was removed by rubbing down for 2 hrs and 2 dips in the dishwasher on a 65 deg  cycle, the hubs were also concaved from massive overtightening , this has now been pushed back out so all rivets are 99.9% level, the second pic shows the wheels as they are now before (time allowing ) being bleached over the weekend...

MartyC:
Coming on well - how did you push the hubs back into shape?

steve Beech TA:
