Motorcycle trailer wheels help

[Guest]

I got these cycle trailer wheels to coat and I'm wondering what you guys think I might run into.
Their Sport Mag II by Bushtec. 1.60" x 16" I'm hoping their aluminum but could be magnesium. Looking at them, they make you think of pot metal.

I did a quick search for Bushtec wheels and read that there wheels are forged aluminum. Those you have look like bare alum that have been sprayed w/ a strong degreaser like Clean Purple. Good luck.

Thanks, on searching I noticed some sent out not coated are suppose to be cast I think I'm going to have fun with these. I'm thinking a definite candidate for KL primer. Do you agree?

Make sure to check the tight bend areas @ the spokes with a light for complete coverage. What color are you going to do them in? KL primer probably wouldn't hurt to smooth things out a bit.
