I didn't know where to ask this.. but it's kinda tech related... i guess. tomorrow i am trading my factory 10 holes away with good tires for 4 A.R.E 16 wheels with good tires... 2 16x8's and 2 16x10's. they are chrome and painted i guess (not sure of what model they are). I am really only getting them for the tires cause they come with 2 brand new bfg's (245/50/16's) and 2 half used kumhos(255/50/16's) to put on the back of my car with my ponies. The guy says that the chrome isstarting to rustand peal off.. same with the paint on them.. i was jsut wondering if sand blasting will take off chrome?.. cause if it will and i like the wheels then i will have them sand blasted and powder coated and use them instead of my ponies i got. sorry if this is the wrong section but i wasnt sure where to ask this. lol. thanks guys.

i sandblast alot at work with a pretty powerful sandblaster and it doesnt take off chrome. It will take the flaked parts off and alil around it but not the rest.

Yeah, sand blast wont take it off...you will have to grind and sand to smooth it out.
