Default Any shops in the area for wheel refinishing?
I'm looking for a shop in the chicagoland area that refinishes wheels. I'd like to get the centers of my wheels powder coated and the lips re-polished or chromed. Any ideas Guys?

Thanks

Well, I just got off the phone with Wheels America and they charge $129 per rim regardless of whether it's a small scratch they have to fix or an entire rim that has to be completely restored. They indicated that the price includes powder coating and repolishing the lips. Sounds to good to be true. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the info Guys
