I've redone a few sets of wheels over the years. It's a lot of work and worth paying someone to do them at $200. a pop.
I Don't have the time or patience like I used to.

If you are on the east coast or close to them I give Wheel Collision a 2 thumbs up. They just refinished 2 sets of CupI's for me with center caps. Price included straightening, some minor welding, stripping and refinishing my center caps picked up and delivered. I can't say what I paid but it was more than reasonable far less than some mentioned here and they picked them up Wednesday and returned them by Friday.

i have to paint the red back on the center caps myself though.

Imo, they're 100% worth refinishing as they're OEM, BBS & look great on 996s.
Thank you sir for your VOTE!!!

Here are some examples....

Huh ??? Why can't you say? Is it classified? You wouldn't happen to be part of the Trump administration would you? Bigly?

Prices, on the West Coast here our typical rates for one piece wheels:

1-color (standard finishes, no brush polish or Hyper Coating) $150 ea.

2-color + $25 more etc. for each color.

This includes, minor damages: curb-rash, scratches, nicks etc.

Prices, on the West Coast here our typical rates for two/three piece wheels:

Standard paint and polish work $200 ea. (includes new seal, set and torque) optional hardware replacement is additional.

These prices are valid for wheels up to 19" in diameter, larger diameters will cost more, we have no problem customizing or changing the color from stock.

I hate to say but I have known our current president since I was about 5. My father and his friends all attended the same Military School together. Irrespective of that I was given a very good price for volume and they asked me not to mention it which I respect. It doesn't take much to call them and see what pricing they offer. Hint 8 wheels are cheaper than 4.

I will say I got THE BEST DEAL BETTER THAN ANYONE

LOLLLLL

"are they worth refinishing"




still on the original wheel finish somehow. Praise be SoCal weather

note: Yes, I do clean the inside of the wheels a few times per month

I've had the wheels painted on both my cars - I'm happy with the results. Cost was about $200 per corner.

East Coast......Proformance Industries, in New Rochele, a few extra dollars, but you get what you pay for with wheel refinishing, remember its all about the labor, these guys are the best(imho) there are a lot of factors when it comes to refinishing wheels.

Rolex drop your car off at Diamante Body Shop. They can refinish the wheels. No reason to ship them.

Can you post or PM me the exact shop. There is a Diamante Body Shop in Miami Gardens, Miami and Hialeah. All with different addresses. And then there's Diamante Paint and body works.

I assume you've had wheels done here and were pleased?

Thanks
