Need advice on HRE Wheel repair/refinish. Where is reasonable?

PaceThis · 03-27-2002, 06:44 PM

I pickup up my pace car last week and was dissapointed in the car for overall condition. One of the things I need to fix is that the HRE 19/20" rims are not in perfect shape. One has quite a bit of curb rash (1 foot) on the polished rim. The others have nics in the yellow paint of the center and/or center cap finish problems.

I called HRE and they want 190 for each outer polished piece to replace them. Can these not be filled and redone? For the insides (painted), they want a total of $190 each to sand down and repaint them.

Does anyone know of another shop which could refinish these and do a good job for less money? Please advise,
Thanks,
Josh Meeks

Considering I had to pay over $8,000 for new ones, I would say $190 a piece to replace the damaged parts is a steal!!

Yes, $190 to replace the outers is reasonable given the purchase price, but another $190 to refinish the insides means with shipping there and back, I'd be over *** $1600 *** to refinish them all. They're not THAT bad. . .

I called wheelcollision.com and they can do them for $170 each for everything, so off they go!!! THANKS!
