Default Overall, not bad...

Dropped of the wheel with WA in Sharon Hill PA yesterday and got it back today. 24h service was promised and I wouldn't mind if they took their time.

They said their machine was a diamond tipped C&C machine and they should be able to duplicate the finish. We'll let the pictures speak.

Before:





After:






Old wheel Diamond cut lip:



New wheel Lip:


I was highly impressed when I saw it. They charged $135 tax included. I'm confident enough to bring a wheel to them to add a lip.

However when I got home, I noticed there was about 1mm was shaven away from the entire lip compared to the other wheel. I'm not sure how it will hold up but shouldn't be too bad... Time will tell.

Impressive. The wheels would have to be side by side in order to tel the difference. When they are on different corners of the car.......... no way anyone will notice.
