Factory RIm Refurb?
Guys,
I think lots of us have wheel issues - cosmetic / curb rash. My car is not a show winner but I'd like to fix scuffs that I have from a precious owner. It's pretty ghetto looking where it scraped around the center.
-I like the factory's and I dont need chrome per se
-I live in midwest so I get salt and cold
-our wheels are good quality and a replacement would be a particular offset to clear the brakes
-I have good tread so I dont want to buy new tires either
Q Have guys gone on ebay or paid a local powdercoat place to redo? Lookin for costs and actual experience.
Q: Do they need to be media blasted first?
Powder guys seem to have a sliding scale on price. I dont want to pay a TON - but ?

Below is a pic of a wheel I repaired on my SC430. It had extensive scuffs in several spots and some bad rash on about 30% of the rim. Repair not including wait times between paint coats took about 2 hours. I used a small palm sander. Rash was pretty bad but none of the rash was so deep to require bondo.
