Has anyone sourced reconditioned OEM C5 wheels from http://www.wheelcollision.com/?

How was the experience?

Many thanks.

I sent an IROC Z28 wheel to them and they refinished it and it matched perfectly. I was very happy.

Did the refinish require much in the way of metal work for repair?

Yes. It was straight but very weathered. It looked like a new rim when I got it back

I used them for damaged HRE's and they were very good.

So one might assume that their core exchange C5 wheels would be very good.
