Wheel re-finishing

I posted this a long time ago, but here goes anyways.

Does any one have any idea of where I can get my 90 TII wheels re-finished? The clear coat is all gone, and the look crappy. I would consider pwder coating, but I have never dealt with PC, so , suggestions are welcome. What should I do??

I just had a set of factory 93 wheels bead blasted and then powder coated and wow do thet look fantastic. i highly recommend it.
just find a sand blaster in your area and have em blast them. They charged me 50.00 for all 4 so dont let them hose you. the powder coating was 35.00 per wheel. what a bargain, id of paid 75 for a finnish like this. good luck

In addition to bead blasting there is a place just north of you in Canada that looks as though they could refinish your wheel any way you like. I have included their URL, I don't have any experiance with them but I was impressed with the site
http://www.pantherwheels.com

I have sripped and clear coated a couple of sets of my own wheels, they turned out fantastic, you just need the right equipment. Good luck

I'll give them a call tomorrow, I've never been to Canada, so this would be a good excuse to get off my *** and take the trip across the line!!

I also got some curb damage on one wheel, it is minor, but an eyesore none the less!

Maybe we can hook-up and talk rotary if I make it up there.
