Wheel refinishing?

Post by AlanS »

Anyone have wheels this bad refinished? 2006 OR. $150 per. All local refinishing places say there is no Guarantee that corrosion will not return. What options Do i have? Aftermarket? Haven’t seen a price or style that i like yet. Suggestions of alternatives, or just have all four redone?

Send them out to another refinisher? Would distance render any guarantee hollow? How much have you asked around?
I assume no DIY. Is impending tire replacement involved here?

I went to three ‘quality’ places. All were cautious about the corrosion return. I know it’s a CYA, but they did point it out. Tires are fine. I would opt for aftermarket, but none are close to the ‘low’. refinishing costs.

I would source out some good ones. I just bought 4 "Thors" for $300 this morning with winter Nokians!

I guess they're not the same but I've seen all types on the buy and sell for generally 200 to 300 dollars for a set of four.

What city are you in? I would check your local buy and sell. Here in Canada we have Kijiji which is owned by E-Bay. You might also check the auto wreckers.
