Hi folks,

I have a set of wheels here that need to be refinished and painted. Rather than do that, I've considered having them fully polished instead.

I've called Rite-Way Wheels in Walnut Creek (great reputation), but they want $200-250/wheel. Although I can appreciate the work that goes into it, that seems steep compared to some of the prices I have heard thrown around.

I'm wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with this and can recommend a shop (preferably in the East Bay if possible).

I think up to $100-125 per wheel seems reasonable...

Thanks
Luke

Rite-way wheel so you only have to pay once for them to be done right

250 a rim, I'd just go out and buy new rims.
