 I want to sand blast mine but someone told me that will *screw* up the 
 metal, leave it pitted really bad...is this true? also what color paint is 
 on the factory 14" BBS wheels? - 88 audi 90 quattro
 TIA!!!!!

dont sandblast aluminum wheels.  bad idea.
scrub your wheels thoroughly (ANY slight amount of grease, armor all, brake 
dust, etc. will cause fisheyes in the paint) , use a scuff pad to abrade the 
old paint, and spray.
