You could probably PC them if you strip and polish them but new aluminum wheels don't cost that much, probably about the same as PC would.

Some of those things are pretty caustic. I've used strippers that have eaten through the latex gloves i was wearing (and started on my skin) in a matter of seconds. :eek:

Well yeah stock R wheels are dirt cheap, but what i'm saying is the prep and powdercoating of them will probably cost as much as a set of douglas aluminum wheels that are already nice and shiny.
