Does anyone have an experience with them. I'm thinking of sending them my original knock off spinners and wanted to do a quick check on them. I found them I eBay where they do have a 100% rating with over 900 transactions.

You will be impressed if the parts you send are good.

The spinners are old and tired looking and need to be "prettied up". They banter on eBay seemed knowledgeable and knowing some from here have used them helps.

Thanks

if they just need rechromed or polished wouldn't it make sense to send it to a chrome shop of your choice or send it to a metal polisher of your choice.

I don't have anyone I around here any longer that I know. So wherever I go is somewhat a c**p shoot. Their center caps are painted not decaled which I found a positive and their process was 3 step as It should be.

On polishing, make sure they do not polish them so much the arrow and "OFF" are not readable.

Takes someone who really knows what they are doing because you can't chrome the threads or the spinners will not land correctly.
