How much did it cost to re barrel the wheels? I might need to refinish my wheels soon

IIRC, it was 1400 for all 4. However, I got a brushed finish with a powdercoat so that ran me a bit more.

Yeah, I did. Well, I can't rush a good job. Or at least I hope it'll be one. As they say, perfection takes time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I dont have a problem washing it. But the drying is annoying. I cant seem to find a good chamois. Im using the Absorber, but it kinda sucks.

Haha alright thanks for all the choices of the drying towels. I got my rims in, however, wheelflip still has my centercaps. In addition, I have a severe leak in my rims. I THINK it might be the silicone seal or valve stem but I'm going to check it out and if its wheelflips fault then I might have to take it back. 1 month job = 3 months.
