So I decided to have my Lowenhart LD-1 redone. I started to get chrome peeling where the tire bead is. Streched tires made the chrome strip even more so I started to get a small air leak.. I decided not to rechrome, and had them disassembled, strip all the chrome, high polish everything, and had the center powerdercoated bmw oe silver. NO more leak so I'm happy! Also, I removed the black vinyl top.. The wheel repair shop in Anaheim even came to pick-up and drop off the wheels for me.. Hit me up if you want the shop info..
Sorry I took the photos with my phone.. I'll take better photos after I wash the car next week.. (hopefully it won't rain/sprinkle anymore)

thanks.. White would be a pain to keep clean.. i was considering gold face, but it decided on plain silver.. I have a hard time keeping the wheels clean with those axxis ultimate brake pads

Clean! If you can, please send me the shop info and if you don't mind the price you paid. I'm thinking about getting my iForged done. There is a small imperfection on the rear lip. Not deep enough to be noticeable, but not light enough to polish out! hahaha.

thanks guys.. The center cap was also powdercoated. The thing that sucked was I had to remove the logo circle because it is plastic. Used a heat gun but it was a pain to remove it.. Also got some dents in it while prying it out so I asked them to sand it down and paint it black for me.. I'll post up more better photos this coming week. Here are some old side view photos..
