What kind of wheels are they? What kind of finish?

If they at chrome and need to be rechromed, turn around will be a while. They will need to be shipping to Cali for the best results. (I know some places claim to chrome, I've heard stories...)

When I had my AMEs (which I hated with a passion, god they were soft) I took them to Rimpro in Tewksbury MA every time they broke..

I broke (cracks, bends) those wheels 8 times in one season. Anyway it might be a haul for you but they are the best of the best

You don't need an appt. But you may want to call to get an idea of prices and stuff. I know they can have all that done. good luck, hope to see you out sometime

Rimpro is in my nieghborhood, I ride my 4 wheeler through thier parking lot sometimes and ride the woods behind them all day long.

- What kind of rims do you have? they quoted me $160 for stock 16" rim refinish. If your doing any more than 2 you might aswell look in to buying an aftermarket set. That's what im gunna do unless I can find some one selling an OEM set or atleast 2 of them for short $$$. My front right got hungry and tried to eat the curb

I agree I've had them do a bunch of wheels for me over the years and they have a great turn around time as well.

I bet a nice metalic or sparkling gold would look big daddy ballin' then you'd have to get some green in there too cuz "Green is for the money and gold is for the hunny's" haha
