wheel refurb tips

Bought a set of BBS split rims as bit of a winter project in major need of a refurb.

*(WARNING,E-BAY AND STRONGBOW DO NOT MIX)*

Not really any curbing as such but the lacquer is terrible and peeling off all over the place.

Will I be better getting them shot/bead blasted and start afresh ?

Would it be better to split them to get a better finished product ?

These are what I want them to look like but they're miles off looking like this.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

S'all about Stella.

Um, depends how much you want to spend? I assume the Lips are diamond cut, but can be sanded down and polished if you desired.

if you Can spend Big bucks take it to a Pro and tell them what you want!

but, you could pull the centres Out, nitromors them down, give them a Key and then Spray them with rattle cans.

Powder coating is a possibility but if they have curbing it will show through the Powder-coat unless you get them Filled, Guessing it needs welding and filing back.
