AND THE NEW PICS!!!!!!
we had the inner and outer lips polished, and the face completely redone too. than all is clearcoated separately and then reassembled. with the claer coat all you need to do is rinse these wheels and the shine will be good as new again!

Looks great!

Here's what I recommend to keep them in top shape!

At every wash, use the following:

P21S Wheel Gel
Swissvax Wheel Brush

When you go to wash the car give each wheel about three or four sprays with the wheel gel and then use the brush to work it up to a lather and cover the entire wheel (getting in all the nooks and crannies). When rinsed, only a super clean microfiber, and you will ensure that your clear coated lip will not get scratched up.

Clear coated lips will not oxidizing like non-clear coated ones, do require careful attention to ensure they stay 100%.

It's the best. :biggthumpup: It's formulated to be used on ANY wheel surface, no matter what it is, and can even dwell for several hours and not cause any detrimental effects.

Nice work. I just got done color matching a set of volk wheels and set the outer lip to a professional to get polished.

I've fixed a couple rims before in my time and just to let you know this is a great deal. It could take up to a whole day just to repair one rim and there is alot of patients and time needed. Great work and do you have anymore pictures?

These came out clean but $250 a wheel! That's a grip.

Does that $250 include special finishes as in custome colores or chrome? Is there a better deal for locals?

custom colors like black or brone or white can be done at no extra charge. chrome may be more depending on the given wheel.
