So Cal Wheel repair and refinishing

Hey all,

just wanted to share a resource if you are in the So Cal area on wheel repair or refinishing. My buddy Eli at Fast Forward Wheels recently repaired a pair of curbed rims for my other car. It came out perfect and he went out of his way to make sure I got the wheels back and on the car for a meet the next morning.

So if any of you have damaged rims or rims you want painted or polished, def check out www.fastforwardwheels.com and ask for Eli and you can tell him AsianImage sent ya!

excellent work...I plan on finding some old school rims for my FB and having him pimp em out when ready!

I highly recommend any of the belligerents. They polish my shaft once a month.

For pricing you gotta contact him. It all depends on each wheel etc. But I promise he will work with you. If you find a cheaper price tell him...he will try his best to help out.

As for the "turn key" I dont think that exists. Since the quickest turn around is at least 3 days. That is for a simplest job. you figure he has to remove your tires, polish the wheels, clear coat if needed/wanted than it has to cure and be baked and then remount the tires...so you would have to have other wheels to use in the meantime.

Maybe u can borrow someone's stocks or do em in pairs...and switch out the wheels.
