Where can i refinish wheels, NYC area
my wheels are all scratched up and i found a buyer, but this is really bothering him. i live in brooklyn but i will travel a bit to a reputable shop that can make these look like new

anyone have any suggestions on where to go?

or does anyone have a set of funnel spoke wheels they want to sell for cheap?(or one front rim)

thanks

I heard that if you park your car in the right place in NYC, the wheels will be gone by morning, then the insurance company will buy you new ones.

dude lol, lemme tell you a story,

I know this "****y" guy that used to own a Acura Legend. He lives around the corner from me.

when the "new" 3.5 maxima came out, he bought the 3.5SL in black with the "sporty" 18" rims lol...

the 3rd day he got the car, I drove by his house, his car was on bricks. lol

Let me (or rather us) know how much they charged and also how good they are, if and when you go, if you don't mind.

Thanks.
