I'm having these blasted for my beater C-20. The guy doing them sent me this pic. asking if he should carry on, because one took two hours with black diamond media. Thumbs up, he does great work. I feel his pain. Horrible paint job, but miserable stuff, I've had far more success removing powder coat with aircraft paint remover.

Any reason to polish these? They'll already be far nicer than anything else on this truck. Depending on model, nothing tops vintage cyclone to me. My C-20 already has a set, but the rears are $450 a tire too big.

OT: Discovered there are at least two types of cyclone western turbines. One has an option for a push through hub cap as opposed using lug nuts.

I bought these, cuz they're cheap
