Need wheels refinished..any recommendations??
I've got a set of GM corvette magnesium wheels that I want to have refinished back to original. There is no damage to the rims just paint chips to the finish. Do any of you, based on first hand knowledge, have a shop that you'd recommend. I'd prefer someone in the northeast so I don't have to ship across country. Thanks,
Mickey

www.rimandwheelworks.com They are located in Newton Mass, just of the Mass Pike. They reconditioned my 2k polished wheels and they did an excelent job, took out all the curb rash and peeling clear coat, just like they were new from the factory. Give them a call and see what the can do for you.

Other Forum members have recommended this place as well. I've never been there but was thinking of going there to fix a bit of curb rash I have on my Y2ks. Here's the website:

I would like to find out if there's a closer place in the tri state area that's as good or better than the two mentioned already.

How long did they have your wheels?
