I Left the tyres on, just got the faces blasted, i had the tyres off not long ago and and inspected to inside which is perfect.

The guy whos painting them asked me to leave them on, but in hindsight i probably should have got them off.
I'm still considering it before painting, which will make it easier to fix the gutter rash. We'll see i'm still giving them sand atm.

He thinks he can mask them perfectly but i'd be more concerned about the tyre guys scratching the wheels up after trying to put the tyres on.
