Default Refinished, absolutely stunning

Hi,

Would like to thank Jim for refinishing my wheels, they look like new including the etching and stickers put on them! You honestly cannot tell that they are refinished. They are so nice I'm scared to even use them! I hope these pictures don't turn out too big, I just forwarded the attachments from Jim.

I heard Jim is having a sale and is only charging $100 to refinish each wheel! J/K

Kevin, thank you for the kind words. Guys what he is not saying is that he shipped me a set of painted centers, and to change over to polished is a significant task but it can be done. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Those are stock sizes 52 ET 8" and 61 ET 10". Many times when rebuilding I increase the rear outer rim to 2.25" which would be 1/2" deeper. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Very nice!

Jim - are you using ATV sealant in addition to the sealing rings?

yes, I always use sealing O rings if I have them, followed up with silicone on top like Speedline did on the Daytona wheels they manuctured. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Looks great. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Every set is different. Are they straight/true and round? Have the outer rims been curbed? Are the centers painted or polished? Are we making them larger for a better fit (re sizing)? Do you have the original bolts or are they missing? A minimal charge is $2000 and it goes from there. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

I feel the restoration process is worth every penny. I paid an extra $800 to convert the painted centers for polished ones. I'm refreshing the entire car so I feel the wheels are a must do and I'm very happy with the end result.
