$35/wheel seems like a bargain! I know a guy in my neighborhood who charges $100/wheel (and gets plenty of business).

Yea I thought 35 a wheel was a steal. I work at a car dealership and he comes and fixes all of our car rims that need it. If anyone is ever in the Evansville area he can fix rims all day long. He doesnt even need the rims off of the car.

What exactly did he do to refinish them? Was it just paint touch up?

He used like 6 diff. kinds of sand paper then sprayed the whole wheel with paint then clear coated. I think thats how he did it. I was not around him the whole time.
