Re: Stripping off old paint

Well, I sold my AT Italia rims and now I need to decide if I want the gold SVX rims on in the summer or the OEM silver rims on in the summer. If I want the gold on in the summer, I need to put my winter tires on the silver rims so I can ship the de-tired AT Italia rims. If I want the silver on in the summer, I have to tell the buyer he needs to wait until my gold rims are done so I can put the winter tires on the gold rims.

It really comes down to which rims I want to see the salt. If I put the gold rims on in the winter, they will degrade and I may not be able to sell them at a top price if I decide after a season that I don't like them. If I put the silver rims on in the winter, they will degrade and that might make selling the whole car harder later on if the potential buyer wants the OEM silver.
