I will also be doing this in the next few months but I think I'll go down the DIY road. Even if I have to buy 1 or 1.5 cans per wheel, it'll be less expensive than getting them done professionally, even if the paint gets chipped after a while and it has to be redone.

I had mine done at <a href="http://www.wheelmedic.com" target="_blank">www.wheelmedic.com</a> who are here in Ohio. I know there not local to you, but they do have a fast turn around time. Also if you tell them that you know me you can get the work done at a commercial rate which is $105 a wheel.

See this post for a pic of wheels that I Just got done last week.

Have heard good things about Wheel Collision.
Not real sure where Bath, PA is but should be a lot closer.

Joseph,

Did you spray the wheels while they were laying flat or standing up like when they're mounted on a car?

thanks plum...i think i'll give them a try, they have links to vw vortex (the rennlist of the vw world) so i can check out feedback on them there. as for bath....i've heard of it....off the top of my head i think its up by balley pa but not sure....the 610 area code kinda horseshoes around me so it shouldn't be too far. thanks again guys.

Just getting my PD wheels refinished at the moment, Don Galbraith Motoring in Devon, PA have a sub-contractor who is doing the job. The set that I saw on a 911 when I was there were immaculate. Just waiting to find out what his initial findings are.
