I think that stuff is anodized on there, I doubt there's much you can do short of cooking it off in a blast furnace //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

you'll have to get them finished somehow...raw metal/aluminum + elements = teh corrosion...shouldnt cost much, could easily do all 4 in an hour

I bead blasted my Iroc wheels and had them powdercoated black...looked sweet w/ an all black car...

Estimate on price for sandblasting and powdercoating four rims? Just so I know what a good price is. Also, what type of business would I call to have it done?
