$13k with $7k paint job VS. $11.5k with $1500 paint job.

It's like these guys that put a $2k audio system in a $4500 car. It just doesn't make much sense to me.
Very true,but a system can be removed and put in another car so I wouldn't consider it a total loss like a paint job.

Default paint thinner will take it off the tips

I think I can scratch the paint off with my fingernails on the rims, there isn't much and it comes off fairly easy but my tips are bad.
but you can test a spot on rims but dont rub hard on rims
