Default Anyone know a place that can polish lips on rims?

And if it can be done to a TE37 rim?

I want a bright and lustrious polish... similar to the polished finish on my work rims now

There's a place in Signal Hill that I was about to bring my wheels to. They charge 50-100 a wheel. They say polishing will take away curb marks and rashes. They're a distributor of DPE wheels I believe. I'll find their number for you.

How much does speedway charge for polishing? How much extra was clear coat? Those look good, I might just bring my wheels there instead.

some places will charge more if they can't take off the face.... some wont even do it... just depends on their mood and situation.
