What was the reason they turned you down? Doesn’t look that bad. And the finish is not even PVD which require special process that only a couple of wheel repair houses can do.

Basically was told they just didn't have the setup for such a repair, once they saw these same pics. One place was pretty high end, which kind of surprised me that they refused.

Call one or two of the Butler tire locations and ask them. They deal with some of the nice stuff around Atlanta, including the last two sets of wheels I purchased.

Yeah, they're on my list...thank you.
RTP Customs is really high end, I was surprised when they said no. I think maybe they just didn't see enough profit in it.

After installing my new wheels sans RFTs, I was successful in searching these threads for info on a TPMS re-learn. So, no need to, Visit my dealer, like the TPMS warning said. I did buy pre-programmed sensors from tpms.com mentioned in the tire sticky.

I was totally unaware I could access more vehicle settings from the steering wheel- probably because when looking, I had been driving, and the change function is only available in Park. For my MY23, it was quick and easy. I had to drive less than 5 minutes for each step to complete. Meant to read the entire owners manual, but haven't. I've only had my LC for 8 months and love it more every day. I bought the car used with 1,700 miles from a Porsche Dealer's lot. Noticed it because it was Infrared.

I must say, this forum is an invaluable resource. Thanks all.

Rob

I'm sure you will find a place, but there is a shop in Birmingham, AL. Don't ask me how I know.

Is that Nightfall Mica? What an awesome color! I caught a glimpse of one at a gas station near me. It's the only one I've seen in that color around Georgia.

Yes, it is Nightfall Mica. I bought the LC 500 in the DFW area last week....only 5600 miles at the time. I drove it back to Savannah, GA and loved the ride!

congrats! I have the same color. I’m actually going to be selling my car soon, so I’m taking my wheels off to sell if you’re interested.
