depends... on your rims...they can polish with the tires on.

faces like Zauber Gettins, have to be taken apart.

For those of whom went to Speedway, do you know if they would accept my wheel? I went to some place and they said they wanted $100/wheel since the lip has to be hand polished where it deepen inside the wheel. This is a two piece weld...

ok let me tell you my situation ...I paid $400.00 for my Zauber Gettins to be like new ..this included disassemble/reassemble of wheels, polish(fixed little bit of curb rash)and clearcoat ...it all depends on your wheel design weather they will need to disassemble....

its 50.00 per wheels to disassemble
and 50.00 per wheels to polish/clearcoat

you have to take the tires off

the place that disassembles the wheels for speedway is called
Custom Wheel Service
3158 East La Palma Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92806
(714) 632-6700

if you dont mind doing some leg work you might get it done for cheaper

What do you mean by disassembled? Those rivets you see don't hold the face to the rim, it's welded together. The last place I went to wanted $100/wheel since they said that they had to hand polish where the rivets are since it's not lined up with the face. This price is including mount and and balance too. They had me excited at $50/wheel.

Paul www.customwheelservice.com can repair and refinish pretty much any wheel.

I used Speedway for some engine parts. They do very good work.
