IF you can thoroughly remove the old clearcoat and repaint them with a
new aluminum-safe one, otherwise check the cost of having someone else
do it for you before buying. If they are of unusual value, powder
coat is the way to go. If the clearcoat is compromised, the aluminum
rots, sometimes sufficiently with hairlines to severely weaken the
wheel.
