$60 a wheel is pretty good. You would use $25 of stripper per wheel to clean them up. Then you would still have additional time sandblasting them to get the bits the stripper couldn't remove. With them soaked in a tank, 20mins per rim might be all it takes in the cabinet. Done well.
All up its going to cost a touch over $1200 to restore the wheels, including the paint stripping, fixing all gutter rash and painting. If there a buckles on all the wheels it is potentially a restoration cost of approx $2k.
Now I sort of understand why fully restored VP GTS wheels were being advertised for 3-4k.
Given I'll be using them and putting my SV5000 wheels away for restoration later on, it's worth it for me.
At $60 per wheel, I'd look at that....Saves you potentially damaging a wheel and getting paint stripper on yourself....Pass on that one
Keep us posted which way you go and how you go, with pictures
Yeh it would be an absolute prick of a job. Going to pick them up tomorrow.
