how "rare" are the gold rims?  I have a set that I thought about polishing up, but didn't want to destroy there possible value if there is any.

Good work!
I redid my turbines a while back. Removing that factory clear is the worst part.

I just had a thought, don't know if this will work well with clear coat, but I have found the best thing for removing paint off my slot cars is Easy Off oven cleaner. Granted I'm soaking a body in the stuff for 24-48 hrs but when you take it out the paint rinses off.
 
Just a thought if someone wants to try it.
