I'm not concerned about the rash itself, as that can be "repaired" by most shops with no problems. It's restoring the anodized finish after having stripping it to bare aluminum that concerns me. You'd have to strip the entire barrel of its anodized finish and then polish the entire thing to get it to look remotely similar to the anodized finish. And I assume that isn't going to cost your normal rate of $60/wheel, LOL.

It's also impossible to repair the OEM coupe 19s perfectly. LOL

The repair will not match the finish on the other wheels. I'll put money on it. It'll be close if the shop is good, but no US repair shops will be able to match the color of the OEM wheels exactly because the process isn't conventional, and doesn't meet US regulations for some reason. Its a black basecoat with a translucent silver clearcoat
If the shop is good, it'll be close enough that you won't notice it unless you're looking for it.

Well that kinda sucks about the OEM 19's being difficult or next to impossible to repair perfectly. Eh I wouldn't mind it being close.

Hey Devin. Do you do any wheel/rim repairs in san diego. I have a set of 17" Racing Hart C2000's that need to be repaired. Does it cost more if the wheels come with a clear coat on them? I also need 2 of my oem 19's fixed so that I can get rid of the set when my Works come in. Pm when ya read this post. Thanks
