Default Original ZO6 Wheels

Does anyone knows where is the best place to have my original ZO6 wheels re-do. One of the wheels look like is losing color. I will like to have all my wheels looking like new. Also, If they re-do all my wheels do they get heavier? What is the cost per wheel? Any pics? Thanks

Yes, West Coast Corvettes has a wheel exchange. Try them first. If no luck there, go to this link and try

Have them all Powder Coated at the same time. It will not cost you more than $100/wheel. I was quoted $75/wheel in Dallas. They should be able to match the color no problem.

google search "awrs." It's a wheel repair...company, you'll get a better understanding after pokin around the site. From what I understand if you find a local, they'll come and pick up the wheels themselves and take them to the shop to get painted/powdercoated/brushed/polished/refinished....you name it.

I'm in SC and I found a local guy who was listed on their website who's going to be doing just that. Pick up my stock Z06 wheels and refinish them. With what I'm doing he quoted me $150 a wheel and I don't have to worry about shipping

Just a suggestion
