Anybody need their rims fix?

Well I noticed that alot of people were looking for places to get their rims fix here in socal. So I thought I would check out a friends shop. He has been telling me that he has a rim machine and that he can make them shine. Hes the same guy that polished all my stuff under the hood so I know his work is good. So I took just one of my Volk GT-C to check it out and to see what his price. He charged me 40 to do the rim on average no more then 100 if the rim has alot of curbing so that sound ok. but heres a few pic. Oh by the way he showed me pics of some nice stock FD wheels he did while back I'll try to post pictures of those later



this is the rim before polishing you can see the fading and water stains from a pressure washer and small nick in the rim

After I got the rim back

And back together.

That looks like some nice work. Are you going to list his shop location and a phone number or website? It looks like he did a hell of a job on your rim.

Sure, had to see if people would be intrested first I would hate to post all that then have people say he did crappy work. You know how the forum is.

It's just too bad he isn't in NorCal. I need a set of rims re-polished. But they are rare enough to where I wouldn't ship them or leave them with anyone that wasn't within an hour drive of my house. I guess I'm just paranoid.
