Polishing wheels on Ford Chassis
Any recommendations on polishing aluminum wheels on Ford 53 chassis. Do not know mfg. Freightliner uses Alcoa but do not know what Ford uses.

For number of years until recently, Ford was using 8-studs hubs and wheels hub piloted and standard wheels were steel made by Accuride. Only wheels made of aluminum that fit these hubs are Ford aluminum wheels optional for F550 chassis that are too narrow for 245/70R19.5 tires common on F53 chassis. Few years ago Ford switched to 10 stud hubs and wheels and some of the aftermarket 22.5" wheels might fit these hubs. So the chances that anyone has aluminum wheels on F53 are very slim.
FIRE UP: Your wheels are proprietary Freightliner wheels very likely made by Alcoa(with Freightliner logo holes) for Freightliner not available for anyone else.
My parents bought a 2005 or 2006 (can't remember) Georgetown on the F 53 chassis brand new. It came with aluminum Alcoas.
