    Wheel Restoration Worth it?

    Hey Guys,

    I have some old BBS RV205's that came on the car. The paint is starting to peel pretty bad. Do you think it would be worth getting these restored? No idea how much it would cost or any good shops around me. Let me know what you think.

    Heres some pics

    Aesthetics are a personal opinion, but i reckon they look a bit ugly....

    I would give them a good clean, maybe a DIY backyard spray job.

    Cost you a few hundred bucks to get the painted. but hey if you really like the wheels then get them done:)

          I had some 15" Euroweaves fully restored. Straightened, curb rash removed and color matched to new center caps. It was $160 per wheel, done by Pacific Rims in Concord, CA. The paint was done superbly and has been holding up perfectly for the last 4 years.
