Media-blast or leave alone?

[LuckyLightning]

I have these two old GMC hubcaps that I plan to sell. Obviously, rust is a real issue with these. Wondering if it's worth it to have them media-blasted first (hopefully not too much more goes missing), or just leave them alone and sell them as-is?

Not looking for a lot of return on these, just want to protect/preserve them as best possible and get them in someone's hands who really wants them - or maybe their current condition is best for now? Would a potential buyer/owner prefer to blast these themselves?

I'd leave them as-is. Someone wanting the "patina" look would probably love them. And if someone wanted to spruce them up they most likely would prefer to do it themselves so they can get the look their after.

Leave me as is, they don't have much life left in them. By blasting them they may just dissapear at least one of them will

Alrighty, thanks for the input. I'll leave them as-is.

I've sold 2 sets of caps and both eBay buyers said they wanted the "aged" look. By media blasting, you only eliminate potential buyers.

Cool, thanks Lugnutz65.
