Been doing the same with my wheels. Backs and fronts, starting with 160 grade (shitty, disintegrating) wet & dry, filled any big chunks with chemical metal and they're now primed up and ready to be painted silver at the weekend :y:

Hardest bit is removing all the shite that's built up on the back of the rim, had to resort to a drill and assortment of wire brushes.

Yours are looking good though, would like to see pics once they're on the car.

Just what I was thinking, I bought 4 VTR Wheels with tyres with bubbling paint on them for £40

Just get ya self some heavy duty aluminium oxide paper and hand sand them its prototype fast with same results as drill sanding

I got 4 almost new tyres with the wheels a friend of mine owns a small garage he took them of before painting and considering two of them are pirelli and two continental I'm pritty happy with the price I payed for the alloys

Grill next do you think I should paint the Citroen badge black

all black including the blue surround and mesh insert

"The proper way" and you forgot to do the inside.

Have fun sanding/buffing the orange peel btw.

I'm leaving the in sides and the lips silver
