Can it be done? I've got some Chrome Araya 7X with a few scrapes on the sides.
I have to move them on but I'm just wondering do I sell as is or maybe tidy them up first?
Would it be a problem over chrome?

think you would really fook them up sanding the sides down.., once the chrome starts peeling off then its a complete strip of all the chrome....

Hmm, that's what I'm a bit worried about $:-\$
Has anyone had a go at it?

Leave as is I reckon - as said the chrome on the top of the rims will flake when you try and sand em. Also sanding chrome takes a fook load of work

+1 leave em, once you sand of the sides you will create an exposed square edge on the chrome , moisture will get in and its flake city from there on , moisture in the air is enough to start it

Right, thanks for the advice lads

Looks like they're destined to be a rider set or full-on resto.
