Bought this nasty set of 16x9.5 +32 ARE 398 wheels on Craigslist recently. They had at least three layers of spray paint on them. Terrible.
I took them apart, stripped everything to bare aluminum, had the faces redrilled from 5x4.75 to 5x4.5, repainted the faces a dark metallic grey, cleaned the bolts with a few rounds of aircraft stripper, and refinished the lips with wetsanding polishing. They came out nicely.
Oh, by the way, I know this thread tends to be anti-ebay, buuuuuuuuuut I just came across these today.
