The link is still there, but you've got to substitute foxthundercats.net for foxthundercats.com

Thunderchicken's way is easier than mine. I restored a set of Snowflakes by had using 80, 120, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 grit sandpaper in that order. It takes 3-4 hours per wheel and your hands will be sore. Then you have to polish them with aluminum polish. I used Meguiar's mag and aluminum polish. They turned out pretty good ;)
