Default recommendations for fuch wheel restoration

Hi, anyone know of an outfit in the NY Metro area that refinishes Fuch wheels. CT, hudson valley, NYC, LI, NJ ok. I have 4 wheels, black centers, alum lips, The black centers are all in decent to pretty good shape. The alum lips require some work. One wheel with Rash marks on lips, needs more work. Any recommendations and idea what prices are these days

thanks, anyone else know of another shop. Anyone have advise to even out the finish of the Alum lips, some have what I will call pitting or uneven finish.

There's a place in Bath, PA (Wheel Collision, Near Allentown, Bethlehem). Haven't looked at Their Fuch prices lately, though.

+1 on Wheel Collisions. I heard lots of good things about them.

I would just send them to weidman and get them done perfectly. Also not for anything you can still brand new Fuch wheels from the dealer.

thanks all r. Anyone have a recommendation to improve the finish of the alum lips only. The black centers i have are very clean and in very good shape. Most shops seem to want $260 to $300 for complete restore, not sure I need that.

Not on the east coast but Harvey Weidman in California is the absolute best. Weidman Wheels refinishes them like factory new.
