Haha, I know the feeling. My M3 came with chrome basketweaves. :loco:

Which I believe I sold to Jack a while ago...

They had a booth at bimmerfest. Pretty nice looking finish on the black chrome. Dont forget about LAX wheels. They quoted me $300 for curb repair, strip, powder coat, and polishing the lips on my style 5s.

is that for a set of four?

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

Yes you did & thank you. Had them stripped, polished the lip. Ended up with a satin black mesh & nickle plated lip & center nut.

Linco did the stripping on them. Per your request, They are at 528 S. Central Park Ave. W. Anaheim CA 92805

Jack, who did the actual refinishing, Linco or wheel-repairs.com?

Tim,
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.

Glad to see they turned out so nice!

Thanks much for the contact info.

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

Who do you recommend to fix curb rash and refinish?

Mark,
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?
