Airbus A320 · 05-23-2003, 02:23 PM

I did a search on this topic and I only found one thing so Im checking to see if anyone else has any info. Does anyone know of a place that will repolish or refinish a set of rims? Im gonna be getting some new rims after my car gets fixed and I want to put the rims I got know on my girls car.

i'd break open the phone book and see what kinda shop repairs rims, does poweder coating etc etc. the reason i say break out the phone book is that its ognna be ur cheapest way. if u find a place thats you need to ship your wheels, after shipping and the refinishing the wheels, its gonna be about hte price of a new set of wheels. but yea refinishing hte wheels can be expensive too, even locally, depending on the finish u want and if htere is any damamge to the wheel. u might be better off maybe selling or trading the wheels in and getting ur gurl a new set of rims.

yea its definetly not worth it unless you got an expensive set of rims or a hook-up or something.. my friend went to get his refinished and they wanted $125 per wheel. I'd definnetly get rid of those and just get your girl a new set

if there expensive wheels (400+ a piece) its worth refinishing, or if u cant get them any more and there your favorite wheels itwould be worth it. all in all i think it depends on what u think about getting the wheels refinished. i have some curb and pothole damage on my giovanna nagano 18's and i got them for 1600 total in a package. im saving my money for something stronger (forged). i mite end up going with volk's or something similar. ive come to realize aluminum isnt worth it and your better off spending the 3k on a set then 1k on a aluminum or chrome set. it also depends on your driving conditions, roads, how your weather is by you. make sure u factor all those in so u dont regret it in the long run if u do get a new set.
