Try Ye Ole Wheel & Welding Shop
(410) 796-8400.

Asking Teresa or John. I am not sure what's their waiting time now..but if it is polishing, it won;t take long..

They fixing wheels which usually have 3weeks waiting in peak season..

I went to Ye Ole Wheel and Welding shop today.

A two week turn around (not bad...they looked busy).
They quoted me $85 a rim to polish the face of the spokes, the lip of the rim and the center hub center. The guy told me it too labor intensive for them to polish the "triangle" between the spokes.

So......I'm not sure what that would look like. Can anyone photoshop a mock up for me?


The search continues....

Thanks for the info SFD!!!

Steve

I believe those wheels were dipped in Chrome... maybe not...

Anyway, there's a dealer up in NJ I think that sells all their Berlina cars with chromed rims

I've been chatting with the owner in Australia. They're not dipped. Its all polish and elbow grease. I know there also a dealer in Texas doing the same thing. I saw those rims at HIN-04 in Philly. I really liked the look.
