They came out great what color is it?? It looks like the same as OEM black chrome look. Where did you get them done? Cost?? I was thinking of getting my OEMs re finished for my drag set up.

Put them on you could run them for at least another month!!

I was just going for maximum inconvenience.

Same questions as Sylvan. They look good, are you happy with the resto? Forecast looks decent through next week, definitely leaving my 19s on until one hour before winter!

Just had two fixed and matched to the OE finish due to the PO's curb rash. Andre's outfit does a pretty good job - he fixed two wheels from the x and the finish held up for 3 winters. ~$150/wheel for a full finish.

I think they're going on tomorrow so I can keep the miles off the grips.

PS: lol - the pix are from the PO before they were fixed. You just can't see the damage due to the artful angle. (But I knew it was there...)

^^I prefer crafty. And since I'm at the office I can't take pictures of post-fix. I might take pix and post this evening but only if you repent.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned...early and often, over long periods of time.

Worthy of reward. Too shagged out to install tonight though, maybe tomorrow.











And, on the topic of repenting:
