Seems like a lot of driving for little seat time but not many places to drive on a sheet of ice in a competition like setting. I felt it was worth it. The drive up was sketchy but a good podcast list, energy drinks, and snacks made it tolerable

It’s like any autocross really… it’s kind of a social thing too and in this case just an experience… for me I never drove in ice before so it’s not just about seat time.

Anyone got recommendations for wheel refinishing?
I've just picked up a AP2V1s with dinged up clear coat and some curb rash.
I heard Green's can do them for $160 cash deal?

some oe wheels are hard to refinish cheap, unless you're ok to paint only, vs paint and diamond cut + clear.

Yea greens is like 250-300 for a repaint on curb rash. AlloyWheelRepair in Richmond is a bit cheaper but you get what you pay for.

Market sure is wack | In those seven years, most were probably written off due to theft or collision. Or just rust.
The average buyer of a 30-year-old Honda is probably trying to make it into a wannabe Kanjo racer, and anyone with a decent shell is just going to keep it in their garage because they can, and have likely had it forever.

I had my stock ISF wheels refinished at Green's recently and they charged me $1,400 plus taxes. 10/10 job, they took my whole car, dismounted and remounted the tires, and it's a black hyper chrome finish which typically costs more. Back in 2014-2017 they did a few sets of Volk 16 inch wheels with me dropping off just the wheels for refinishing and those were $575 plus taxes and paying with a credit card (not a cash job). Prices have certainly gone up.

I highly recommend Shinez out in Abbotsford. $175 a wheel for complete refinish for these - came out near perfect (says a lot as I'm picky af) and he even did a brushed finish on the lip. And he finished them quicker than he quoted - unheard of these days.  | |
