Default Rim repair in the GTA - Union Rim Repair
Just a PSA for the great work Union Rim has done on my Golf R wheels and now on my OEM cup 1’s.

Previoisly I have used Carcones, but the last time they did a set for me (the cup 1’s) the paint was thin and brittle.

These were done in powder with a clear coat.

👍👍👍

Any idea what they charge to refurbish FUCHs?

My cup 1’s were $600 all in with the caps done as well.

My one golf R wheel with a polished face was $220. It also had a bend in the outer lip.

Are you wanting a re-finish in the original anodizing? I don’t think they do that and from what I have read new anodizing is at least 1k for set.

I wish I would have gotten such a great finish from them. I had to go back twice and I still only got a mediocre finish.

Thats too bad. I feel your pain. I had a similar experience with Carcones. And the last set they did the paint was super thin and brittle. It seems like everything is hit or miss these days.
