Thinking of polishing up a set of bbs I have but the lips have been powder coated/painted before. (Not sure which) how could I go about stripping this or would I be better off having it done ?
Also have a set that I want to paint but again if I don't like it is it a big job to strip the paint off? Thanks

Also ask Aivis as he has polished his before and I think andy made have borrowed the same tool before from him.
This is my BMW. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My BMW is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My BMW, without me, is useless. Without my BMW, I am useless. I must drive my BMW true......

Your best option is to get a wheel refurb shop to dip them in a paint removal solution...safe for the rims and quick, you could have them done and back to you in a couple of hours

Are these the black Center/black lip Staggered Rc?
If so the lips were original and decent except for laquer peel when I had them. Should be no hidden surprises under the paint.
Yeah kind of dark purple/black ones Ross? I got them off cab. If it's the same ones that's good! Just they lips have have a lot of paint bubbling around the bolts and falling off so want to re do them

Yup, I sold these to a guy in Limerick, They then went to Meath on a 328i, Then to Mayo, Then to Cab and then to you!
They kept popping up on the forums/adverts that's how I know. (Sad I know!)
It was me that put on the carbon fibre wrapped center caps.

Ha well there back in Meath now! Mad the way wheels do the rounds
What's the wheels in the link ? They have Bmw centres now when u got them off cab any pics with the carbon fibre ones ?

They've probably more miles done in the car than on a car the last few years.
That's the wheels before they were painted, It was only a carbon fibre wrap. (Just about make it out in the pic!)
