I'm looking to get my thin spokes refinished, is there a website or phone # for Panther?

I bought an extra set of wheels to send to Panther so I would not have to be without my car for two weeks.

I have a Z06 but, I bought a second used set of wheels to send to Panther so I would not be without the car for two weeks while Panther worked on the wheels. After I put the new wheels on, I will be selling my old wheels.

They do have a website but, it does represent all the types of work they do. www.pantherwheels.com

These wheels will be easy to clean since they are clearcoated. If your polished wheels are not clearcoated then they will be hard to clean. I know a lot of people don't like the CC but, for me I preferred to not have the headaches of cleaning the wheels since my car is a daily driver.

The entire process consists of:
Spinning the wheels to check for bent or out of round wheels.
Paint the entire wheel silver or whatever background color you desire.
Machine the face of the wheel to produce a nice shiny finish.
Clearcoat the entire wheel.
Hand paint the cross flags in the center caps whatever color you desire.
