That really makes me want to get my Brabus wheels re-done. I was quoted $700 to have them straightened, road rash removed and to have the centers PC'd black with silver lips. They would take the wheels apart to have this done (they're 2 piece). This is from a very reputable local place.

IMHO, wheels are one of the most important pieces of "jewelry" that sets off the look of the car... If I see an othewise nice car with scruffy wheels, curb rash and/or a cheap set of tires I always conclude that the owner didn't care enough about the details, and probably has ignored other important maintenance on the car as well.
The wheels are secured until spring, so I'm not too worried about theft. However, with all the posts lately about wheel theft I will probably buy a set of wheel locks before these get mounted up to the car.
