Sanding and polishing a lot of work you mean?

Wolf 335 I’ve already pulled 3 of 4 apart, that’s easy. Removing the hardened anodized coating on the outer barrels is not. Haven’t found a good way to remove that coating yet besides tons of sand paper and long hours in the garage.
Polishing and reassembly will be easy as well. It’s all just elbow grease, lots of it lol

The back would be my limit offset wise, I'd say the front will likely be too aggressive. Let us know how it looks with tires mounted.

I've done a full strip/polish of ONE RC090 lip when I picked up a set from a totaled car (one was bent badly). The rest were already stripped and polished. It's a metric fuckton of work, if I had to do all 4 I'd just have a shop blast and powdercoat them--added benefit of not having to re polish the damn things every few months on a garaged car or every couple weeks if it's out in the elements.
