Thanks for the update Deception. They look absolutely fantastic!

A friend of mine lent his car out. His centerline rims came back not round anymore and kind of folded.
Took them to Panthers, they were around $150 a wheel and cam back looking better than from the factory.

how do u maintain wheels that don't have a clearcoat? will there be pitting/oxidization?

So you bring your rims there with no tire on them? Or do they take the tire off, refinish them and remount them?

Sweet2L: You can bring a wheel with no tire, or a wheel with tire. They have tire mounting machines.

considering repairing and refinishing a rim cost $150-200...
a normal (not those high end brands) rim is just as much! if not only 30-50% more..
but anyways, i guess these services will be for rims that cost like.. $800 a piece.

I went to Green's to repair one of my Volk wheels.
I was not impressed with the repair, color of the anodize lip didn't match.
In addition, they left a 1 inch scratch on my lip (even though it was just refinished by them). I didn't complained though...whatever.
It cost $230. Took them 3 days. I will never go back to them.

I just got my wheels back from Panther, Paul and Jim were good guys and I'm 100% satisfied with their service. I had my curb repaired and repainted to Matte Black entirely. They definitely get my vote!  | |

I have another wheel that I need to repair and I'm thinking of going to Panthers this time.
Also, how long did it take for the job?
BTW, your stock G35 wheels are curbed, mine are still pretty good  | |

BTW, your stock G35 wheels are curbed, mine are still pretty good | It was $200 a wheel for fixing missing pieces and curbed lip, machined out the chrome lip, matte black paint. This took 4 days exact. I dropped the wheels on monday afternoon then got them back on friday morning. This of course all included mount and balance. The G35 wheels have been like for 3-4 years | |

that's a pretty good price. it's going to cost me about 150/wheel just to repolish my lips due to it being a 3 piece wheel and needing to take apart.
dunno if i want to sink in another 75/rim to get the centres painted or not, since that's 900 just in refinishing alone!
next time i'm buying 1 piece wheels...or avoiding anodized lips

Ive had 1 of my rims done by Green's before and the lip came back weird, not shiny, not polished like, just kinda weird...lol i want a polished/chrome look....
