Check this out. I took my wheels to have them repaired. The shop took out some bends, curb rash, repolished the lips and clearcoated them. When I got back my wheels my lips looked a lot better then they did when I biught the wheels. Check this out:

Retro, who did the work? Man, they did an outstanding job

 

dude i'm confused. i don't c any rashes or dents in the b4 pic or was that just 2 show the old lip as compared 2 the new lip? much shinier in the 2nd pic...

 

Yeah...the first pic is when I got the rim new. I don't have any curbrush pics but it was worse then you ever see people on these boards post.

The place is called "Tech 1" in LA area Fullerton. They OEM for the most local shops in the area.

 

a qusetion 4 u , did they do all 4 of u'r wheels cus , if its different from whay they originally looked like u must have done all 4 right? just wondoring..

 

Actually one of them has polished center and 2 of them have mismatching lip gloss. I think I compnsated it with wrong offsets though

Yeah, all 4.

 

What kind of wheels are those and where did you buy them???

 

retro..those are dang good finish jobs

I did a Yahoo yellow pages search and a few Tech 1's came up. Can you please post the phone #? I really need to get the lips on my wheels refinished also. Thanks.

 

Hey Pete........how much did that cost you?

Just pray that your lips don't have clearcoat. Mine did so it was PITA.

 

Looks like they did a good job!

 

i'm thinking about fixing up a few curb rashes on my wheels. how much did the job cost?

 

Don't avoid the question Pete. hehehhe

 

$800 but they did more then just fixing the curbrush. If you have 3-piece wheels they will do it for like $80 a piece. With 2-piece wheels it would be a lot more.
