i have 4 straight 914 offset steel wheels i want to refurbish. i do not want to go the powder coating route. i will clean them and blast the faces. durability of the paint is a factor and i want to come as close to the stock finish as possible. what do i look for? manufacturer and color please. thanks.

exactly jim. $400+ for the set is insane. even at $80 per i'd need a Valium to make that happen. explaining it to my wife i'd need a blanket for the couch.

I believe most, if not all, LS in the PNW offer it. They probably have a contract with one of the large PC outfits in Seattle of Bellingham. As I recall it took about 5 working days. . . |
