Alloy Wheel refinishers??

[LS6 Tommy]

Anyone have any recommendations for refinishing my new 17" N90 wheels in the proper gold paint for 1980 Z28?
I want to use Wheel Collision Center in PA, but they won't p/u & deliver from a residence & I haven't been able to find a local service shop that uses them. My other option is USA Wheel in Fairfield, NJ, but I know nothing about them. Any recommendations?

You are not that far from Bath PA. Why not make a road trip.

You're not kidding! Not too far off Route 22. about 1:15 from my house.

I guess sometimes I get lazy as I get older... :lol:

i don't know about the wheel refurbing guys on your part of the stamp but lately around here the regulars that we use at work can't seem to prep the wheels very well at all before they refinish them.we started doing it in house to keep the qc in check.why not use a bodyshop?

A bodyshop can't turn the wheel in a lathe to make the proper machined finish. They would just mask the existing machined area & paint over the existing paint. The proper way is to strip the entire wheel, paint/powdercoat it, remachine it then clearcoat it.
