Default Wheel refinisher on the East Coast???

I need to get some wheels from my recently acquired S2 track car refinished as the previous owner apparently never wahed them.
Any reccomendations??
BTW they are the forged club sports.

TIA.

What do you want to do to them? back to the original Silver or paint them a color?

I had some cookie cutters refinished by a place called Wheel Worx. They're located in Millersville, MD, roughly between Baltimore and DC. They do a lot of Porsche wheels, and I'm very happy with what they did for me. I'm not sure how far they are from you. Get in touch with me if you want more info. Also, I imagine you could look them up on the web.

A friend of mine owns a wheel repair franchise. I know there are three guys in VA who own a franchise from the same company. PM me and I'll give you the web site. They come to you.

I would strongly suggest avoiding the leading chain in this field (not yet mentioned in this thread) like the plague. Don't ask me how I know, just suffice it to say that I learned the hard way.

KLR, do you mean Wheel America? If so, I wasn't thrilled with the job they did with my wheels, but I don't think I was outright ripped off. I don't recommend them.

Another shout for Wheel Worx. They have done work for a number of guys in the Chesapeake Region PCA and have good rep. Not cheap, mind you, but good.

On the nose. Nice people, couldn't get it right after three tries. Very frustrating.

I used wheel collision in Bath PA for my PG2's. They did a nice job but could have better sanded the insides of the spokes.
