Default Wheel Refinishing

Has anyone dealt with a guy, Greg, with Hotwheels wheel repair company? I am interested in getting a little curbing and possibly repainted Ap2 rims done. Called him 3 times but not response. Website claims return of call in 30 mins haha. Anyone had this done? Not the powdercoating, but gloss style like a Volk?

How much was a spring install for most of you? Recommendations for where to go. Thinking S & R but havent made it out that way yet to investigate. Teins on OEM 05.

Thanks!

I've heard some good stuff about Glens, never heard another good or bad about hotwheels.

Sorry, no idea how much a spring install would cost (have never paid anyone to install them before). Call S&R if you don't think that's something you can handle yourself though, S&R are good people.

+1 on Glenns Wheel refinishing the # is 813-882-0224. Turn around time is great and they do top notch affordable work. Spring install DIY there are plenty of how to's on here to knock it out.

If you go for a new color on them, .....I would still suggest powdercoating over painting. the coat IS gloss unless you select a matte finish and the coating is much more durable and longer lasting than any automotive painting technique
