Kinesis K58 Re-finishing
 
Because nobody wanted to purchase my wheels I decided to look for a place to have them re-finished, found Seattle Wheel Service that a lot of the high end car owners use to get their wheels re-finished and at a reasonable price, they just sent me this pic of the first wheel they finished, they should all get shipped back to me by Tuesday with brand new tires, cant wait...

I had them change all the bolts, re-polish the lip and straighten 2 wheels that the tire shop bent when they removed the tire also had the centers powdercoated with a finish that brake dust would not stick on.

Basically it will be all brand new when I get them back.

Here is a pic

David was my contact person and he gave excellent customer service...He text me that pic even without me asking.

Looks awesome!

I want to see more Rx7s with Kinesis wheels, only know of two.

Hi Kai,

That is the exact place that I used for all my wheels need. Either repaired, refinished, or mount/balance.
They do good job on all my wheels.

Can't wait to see how they turn out.

I would highly recommend Shanna at Bellevue Wheel Repair if you are looking for somthing in the Seattle area. She refinished my Blitz Type 01 and is EXCELLENT and also is very reasonably priced.

Wow, those look better than the finish they had when they were new.

KaiFD3S 08-13-10 03:08 PM

Yes, the finish looks really good, I was going to go with a different color but decided that the original looked much better.

KaiFD3S 08-19-10 02:43 PM

very nice.... They offer wheel painting services too? I was thinking of having my Prodrives refinished.

Sex dude. Those look amazing.

KaiFD3S 08-19-10 11:50 PM

They do painting or powdercoating...

ARD T2 08-20-10 02:42 AM

Hey Jan,

Do you know how much they charged for the fasteners?

Gotta love Alaska Air Cargo, $170.00 to ship all 4 wheels that weigh about 50 lbs each and same day shipping, can't beat that...

That's a shame. I just got my bonus this friday, and was seriously looking at your wheels, and wondering about the spacer stuff, and seeing if I would have to change studs and so on, and now I bump into this thread. They came out really nice. Any chance you can PM me about their pricing. Maybe I'll consider those MS-01 wheels from circuit theory and think about having them reconditioned.

If you need center caps or spare inner barrels let me know.
