I'm back!!

My goodness it has been a long time since I've been on Genvibe. Many of you know or may not know I sold my '03 base and got a 5 speed 2005 Corolla LE (don't worry, I'm not affected by the recall).

Your best option is to just leave the car on the ground on the jack stands and take the wheels off if you are going to sandblast the wheels. On the flip side you could also take the wheels to a shop and they can clean them up for you or suggest some ideas for you. Best of luck
