Good thing you didn't, since I have decided to re-mount them, and sell the D-90's (after I have the two bent ones straightened)!!
How much will your re-finishing cost for all 4??

Too funny. I think it's $129 per wheel (flat rate, regardless of damage) if you drop them off in farmingdale on long island. My wrench is charging me 119 per wheel (I guess he gets a wholesale rate?) plus 70 to leave the car on one of his lifts for a few days. It seemed like a good tradeoff to me vs. having to borrow a set of wheels and schlep out to farmingdale twice with four wheels stuffed inside the 951.
I'm pretty psyched to see the result. I saw a set of phonies done by wheels america on an incredible early 928 at a concours this spring. That was the day (if not the moment) that I became dissatisfied with my wurth's refinish.

Hey Tom...you are better off keeping your rims. After several on-off-on episodes at the tire shops, my rims are looking closer to yours anyway!
Neal - I had the phones of my former 88 repainted by a local body shop in NJ. They came out minty fresh!! Makes the car look so much better to have clean rims! You'll see!
