sure, probably looking at anywhere from 100 to 250. Sometimes it's cheaper just to buy a new wheel if you can.

OSSHWA- thanks, hope your business with us was good.

if it was just polished alum, you can just sand it down (with really high grit when you finish), and buff it

I dropped off my stock wheels at Wheel Refinisher in Annapolis to have the pockets painted black.

So I drove up to Annapolis (From Leesburg) to pick up the wheelslast week and have them reinstalled.

I washed the car and brake dust was not the only thing that came off the wheels.

They offered to redo them, but it is a 3 hour drive round trip. I don't want to waste another 3 hours and possible have the same issues....

I have a wheel guy that does all of our rims at the dealership I work at. He's done our 08' G37, 07 Jeep Srt8, and our BMW M3. He's done way more than that but I figured I'd name the expensive cars just to show you how much we trust him and how good of work he does. Either PM me or respond and I'll give you his number. He's mobile and will come to you depending on the distance and amount of work.
