you can get them powdercoated for approx 250-300 if they are 15s

its a lot of work to strip and once you buy stripper,sandpaper,paint.clear,and do all that work and still are not happy with them...

It takes a lot of time to do it right. Multi-spoke are a pain in the ass, you'll regret starting the project.

If you haven't done it before and don't really care about getting the 'experience' of a DIY, a professional powdercoat is the best option. But it's barely cheaper than buying new wheels, so only do it if you have some exclusive or high end wheels that can't be replaced, or have to have a custom finish.

I tried to polish a set too but got frustrated and ended up trying to spray paint them (damn honda kids on those rattlecan paintjob threads make it look so easy) long story short I fucked it all up and had to sell them deeply discounted because of it OP definitely go with powdercoating. It'll save you a lot of frustration.
