Help Finding Wheel Refinishing/Restoring for AP2V1 wheels

What's up guys,

I recently sold my RPF1's to a Burglrdrift and am now going for the OEM+ look. I have my AP2V1 wheels on my 05 but they have some curbing, scratches, and baked on brake dust. They are in desperate need of refinishing to like-new condition, but I don't know where to go.

Everyone keeps saying go get them powder coated but i don't want that because I want the OEM finish of the AP2V1 wheel (part polished and painted, etc). Does anyone know of a place that does this for a good price?

Thanks,

Mark

This is the only place I know of in the metro area. My friend had his wheels painted there before and I do know that they repair rims. Not sure how there prices are, it's been over 5 years since I have been to that place.

Here is another place I found, give them a call and see what they tell you.

Hope this helps

For the price you gonna end up spending fixing up your stock wheels, you might just consider buying brand new replica ones.

I bought my AP2V1 from wheels and caps and I love them, gave them and tires to a Porsche tech friend of mine to mount and balance and he had no idea they were replicas until I told him. Also might want to give WheelFixIt a call, they run a shop right down the block from my job in Freeport. WheelFixIt Clicky!

you cant beat the price of those replicas and ive heard the quality is good as well. repairing rims is expensive, trust me. ive done it before.

the best place to get rims repaired is wheel collision center in bath, pa. it is the best place around. it's $$$, but they're the best. its probably not worth it for stock rims when you can just get the replicas brand new for half the price.
