Default Refinishing rims

I have stock 17" cup rims that are looking a bit tired. How much should it cost to refinish them? The 1st local company that I contacted, recommended to me by the Porsche dealershiop, is quoting $75 per wheel.

That's cheap. Ask them to show you their previous work and if you're satisfied with what you see go for it.

Around here it is $125 to $150/wheel but we tend to be more expensive. I refinished the wheels myself. I spent $100 on good paint and already had an HVLP gun, sandpaper and filler for the deeper scratches.

+1! That's a steal if the work is quality.
