I am trying to decide if I should sell the chrome t-stars I replaced on my bonny or scrap them. Here are some pictures. They are in rough shape.







Also, I dont have any pictures of the valve stem area but it also has some flaky chrome around it.

Just wire wheel the heck out of the back, (I used an angle grinder with some scouring pad sort of things) and get all the corrosion off, then coat it in some rim paint, i got some at autozone for like five bucks. Make sure the edge of the rim where the tire seals is clean and you are all set.
edit: oops i didnt realize you didnt want to keep them, definetly sell them, there is lots of life left in them if you dont want to clean them up

I'm just wondering if I would get more money for them if I scrapped them. Especially since they weigh like 20 pounds and scrap aluminum is $1.something a pound.
