Curbed my stock 18 in rims
Can the lip be refinished? Was going to bring it to the shop, but I have been lazy, wanted to ask first before I go.

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
The wheels can be refinished to a polished look. You will lose the groves on the factory look though. Look closely at your rims and you will see very small grooves on them.

A local shop to me charges a $200 flat fee for refinishing and repairing rims. It is most definitely possible. You just need to find a shop you can trust.

Yes, or any other rim. But for that amount, you might as well send it to HRE to fix.
