I want to keep the polished Aluminum finish. I plan to strip the clear with aircraft stripper, then remove the corrosion by wet sanding with ultra fine sandpaper (600, 800, etc), follow by machine polishing with compound, and re-clear. If I can't polish it I may paint. Most shops charge about $100-150/each to refinish, so the OPs wheels would be a better deal than paying for that.

I do all of my own powdercoating so all it costs me is the price of powder.

Why do you guys say someone might want them for a winter set?
In the winter you guys change your tires?
LOL - We live in the Ft Lauderdale area now, but up north in the NE areas, the snow can be pretty bad and people who need to be somewhere for their job will put winter tires on their cars for better grip & accident avoidance (although nothing will keep a little Woman driving much too fast for conditions in her "invincible" Land Rover or Lexus Rx350 from smashing into you on her way to Starbucks while on the cell phone.)

Living down here now, we don't even realize when our former neighbors are in their Winter misery any more... its Endless Summer for us.

****, I just keep mine in storage, I figured no one would want those pieces of ****. If anyone would give me money for them, I'd be happy, as I didn't even think it was a possibility.

Like I said before, If I'm only going to get $300 for them I'd rather keep them so if I ever have to sell my car I'll put the stock 16"s back cause I paid a lot of money for the AMG 19's. That's worth a lot more than $300.

I sold mine in the summer for $280 on Craigslist. They had Michelins with about 30% life left.

I was asking $400 on Ebay & Craigslist for months and just got tired of them hanging around.

Bagman thanks for your input. But I don't think I'll let them go for so cheap. For that price id rather keep them just incase I have to get ride of my car and I can take off my AMG 19's and install them on my next ride
