18 inch monoblock wheel refinished...

I bought a used front wheel- 18 inch AMG from an E55 for $70 dollars. It was completely curb rashed, and looked pretty bad. Here it is after an inexpensive first pass at wheel refinishing...

great work, but not mine...

I paid someone to do this. Two guys spent about 2 hours on it. They basically sanded the bad curb rash with three different grades of wet and dry sand paper, then buffed it, and painted.

The wheel was 70 bucks, the refinishing was 120 dollars...
The other three wheels I picked up on ebay were already refinished, they were about $180 - $210 dollars each. All told I've spent around 700 dollars for the four wheels.
