yeah I am thinking about black chrome too, but they quote me with the remove and remount and black chrome with polish lips for about $1300, is it a good price?

Thats way too much! Take it to someone else. To repair that lip 100-150 bucks, To powder coat 250-300 not sure how difficult it is to split the wheels but if its unbolting and rebolting 100-200 I would say is fair price for the amount of work. Negoiate with him, think about it he is profitting 1250 from you for just 2-4 hours worth of work if that.

If it was me I would just repair the wheel and be done with it. Your car looks dead sexy already(!) and once you paint them it's not easy to revert back.

My wife is a terrible driver and enjoys curb-rash, but she chipped a rim not too long ago and I didn't think it was worth fixing. But the quotes I got were all around $200 or so.

So that quote you got is crazy. I know your wheels may take more work but banging out a dent shouldn't be more than $300 tops. I would just stop there.

Or if you want some wheel bling...get your calipers powder-coated instead. That would pop and really show off the rims more. Yellow, red, bronze...all would look killer IMO.

it depends on your mood! for show car status I think : gold would look so nice! not a matte gold but like a glossy shiny gold! Just on the spokes!

For everyday, not really showy but classy, maybe black chrome? they look really nice!

Bronze is good too but I would go for gold than bronze!

thanks, for the bend fix, they charge me about $105 to fix that, but since volk wheels lip are anozided coated, they can not recoat that, so they have to buff out the lip to become the polish lip, i just wonder how would that lip look compare to the rest of the wheels, for the whole cost just one wheels fix the bend, remount and balance and polish lip is total $175

I like high contrast (I currently have yellow rims) so I'm biased. But I'd say something like Tiffany blue or teal.
