Wheel Refinishing in DMV
I just picked up set of wheels that need to be refinished and I need to find someone local that can do it.
I have looked into Ye Ole Wheels and based on their reviews and experiences that friends have been, I not really interested in them.
Even in this is something some of you do on the side, i might be interested.
Thanks in advance.

They are 20" Auto Couture wheels. Silver painted faces with a polished lip.

Sorry to thread jack but I would like to know as well. I'm hoping to have my Euroline
DH's repaired.
They are completely chrome, but I want the lips polished instead. The faces
are a 9 out of 10, but the lips are completely trashed by a chemical or something
by the previous owner. I also need repair along the inner wheel beads because
my front tires seem to leak air. I'm going to sell the tires I currently have on (19" Falken
ST115's if anyones interested...probably 100 miles on each) and hopefully get
another set installed professionally by the same place if possible.
So to recap, I want the tires removed, wheels taken apart, remove chrome and polish lips,
inspect and repair barrel beads, seal lip, put wheels back together, then install a set
of fresh new tires. I'm looking to spend about $750-1000 (not including tires
obvouisly). Does that sound about right?

tabaka, i think your problem is going to be the removal of the chrome. Thats not as easy as it seems, and alot of places wont mess with it.

Can it simply be re-chromed or something? It looks pretty bad up close. I've tried many different chrome polishes and nothing will get the issue out. If I use polish and wax, it looks a little better but not show quality. I only roll on these wheels for the spring a summer months so I'm hoping to get them refinished by March. I'm in no hurry and these wheels are in storage now. I also need a shop to repair the inner beads of the wheels.
