So are you selling the wheels in question, or what. I'm not sure what you're saying.

With all the work required to properly restore a set of wheels I was thinking $2500 plus shipping. My sets tend to be over restored and are nicer with better finishes when they were new. You can search on RL for Speedline wheels and find some of my work. If you send me your email address I can send pictures. I do not clear powder coat the outer hoops but rather I use a clear coat called TSC that requires 8 days to dry and does not chip or peel off to remove once dry it must be sanded or polished off. It allows a brighter shine of the polished components. I did a set for Justin and his 951 white turbo, I know he posted pictures and believe he is quite happy with his set. jdorociak@gmail.com
Sorry guys do not mean to confuse issues.

Price?
Obviously not, because until he posted the price, above, he made no mention of selling them, only restoring them. You made an inference by creating words that presumed his intent.
...and yes, I got your actual reply via email notification. Nice edit, after the fact.

Yeah, we saw some of your wheels on Judson's car. Very nice!
A quick question, what type of paint do you use?

I usually shoot Dupont Chroma Base two stage paint. Prices can range from $1500 and up depending on how much work is required to get a straight set of wheels before I start the restoration process. Additional things like curb marks, bent hoops, new stainless steel bolts, and custom sized rim halves can affect the price. Jim

any chance you can locate some 2.33" center caps for my speedlines? Im guessing i'll have to machine something out for the holes.

How many are you missing? Several years ago I had a set with the plastic porsche crest peeling away and I cut an old Fuch center down to size and epoxied to the remaining plastic Speedline cap. Jim
