Default Recommended Wheel Refinishing Shops

Hey guys,

Happy New Year!

I hit a curb today and added another road rash to my 3 Piece Wheel. I want to get them refinished due to chrome peeling and minor road rashes.

Please kindly refer me to a shop that you had good experiences with. Norwalk, Cerritos and Long Beach areas are preferable.

Thank you in advance.

Daniel

Thanks, Pjinca.

I will call them tomorrow.

What is their turn around time for each wheel and any idea how much for the following conditions:

1. One that needs the lip to be re-chromed (peeling along the areas where the barrel is connected) and refinished due to three minor curb rash? It's a three piece wheel.

2. And one with just three minor curb rash on the lip?

What do you guys think of the following shops:

1. LAX Wheel Repair
2. Affordable Wheel Repair in Los Angeles
3. Tru Wheel

Thanks!

Guys,

Thanks for your reccomendations. I will call them next week and will post pics or info for members who why might find them useful as well.

Have a great Sunday!

PS: I will also call Son Tran from Onsite Wheel Recond in Westminster. I found them from Yelp.com with many good reviews.

Son is good but I don't think even he can re-chome your wheel while you wait.

Really? Not even just parts of the lips (chrome peelings at the contact points of the center and lip) only? From the reviews, they said he is the magician.

Thanks!

call revolution wheels and tires in cypress. david owns the shop but ask for sam (former founder of WheelFlip) tell him Nick sent you. he can do complete custom work (custom mounting, finish, sizing, cutting, etc.)
