    Thanks for the nice words !! How bad is the curb rash? Is it on your black wheels? If it's not too bad, we can probably do it ourselves or if it's gnarly they can go to Speedway for everything. Do you have another set to use while there being worked on?
    I will call you shortly :-D

    Jack, the rims look awesome, but I expect nothing less from you ;)

    Who do you recommend to fix curb rash and refinish?

    The nickle plating on the lip/cap was done by United Plating in Tustin. The satin black & clear on the lip were both done by Dan at Speedway Polishing & Coating in Santa Ana (714-542-7778). Both the black & the clear are micro-ceramic coatings.

    I have not had good experience with wheel-repairs.com. The quality of their work is very inconsistent - I had to have barrels re-polished 3 times & they still didn't come out right. WRS's specialty is volume refurbishing for used car dealers.

    einstein, any idea how much they'd charge to straighten (but not refinish) a set of wheels?

    is that for a set of four?

    OK, I've googled for a while and can't find them. Do you have a number or address for Lenco?
