Default Painted Wheels
Has anyone ever stripped the stock painted wheels and had them polished? I have a set of stock C5 painted wheels with OEM tires with 4000 miles on them and just wondering if the wheels can be stripped and polished, and if so what kind of a job is it?

They are the stock C5 painted wheels, so they are silver.
