Re: bmw-digest V2 #157

I recently purshased a 86 535i  and just found out that the wheels are painted.
I read the archive file on painting wheels but think that its a waste of time
considering that it would come off anyway.
Well I did notice that the color under the wheel is white? Is this the aluminum
and will it hurt the wheels if I strip the rest of the paint...because buying
new rims seems a bit on the expensive side..
I want to know if anyone else has done this and what are the positives and
negatives.  I understand appearance may suffer, but since my car is a dark colo
r anyway that contrast might actually help...
Thanks a lot gang...
