Would a sandblaster (one using a plastic media) harm the metal or should I avoid that? I need slightly larger tires anyways (195/50R15 on them) so if they get damaged it's not the end of the world... I'm more concerned with the media damaging the metal, I have little experience with sand blasters so I dont know what aluminum can take.


NM, I looked at it and the corrosion is under a clearcoat finnish. I will wait until the winter is back again to pull the rims off, sandblast them entirely and I know of somebody here that powdercoats.
