Wheel refinishing question - South West Region - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Mr. TurboTA · 03-01-2006, 09:21 AM

Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone has had any Diamond Spoke wheels restored by having them refinished at a wheel refinishing place. Or, other thirdgen wheels. Paint and polish, maybe clear coated.
Either in the Phoenix area, or Las Vegas area.
I am just wondering if anyone in these areas even does it.
I am trying to find a place close enough to drop off some wheels.
Any idea on how much time it will take? Days or weeks.
Phone numbers or addresses are what I am looking for.

Thanks,

George

Since your a TTA you might want to give Nick Micale a call @ AZGN

(602) 866-9908.

He has sells some TTA/TA rims and helped people get them repainted. He occasionally has mint condition stuff too, it is probably cheaper to buy a good rim than have a bad rim fixed. Salvage yards get about $50 a rim used.

or if you want to DIY: http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=37

Hi Chad!
I have a half rear set of these wheels, 1 already done myself in white, with one to go.
I have 2 extra complete sets that have the clearcoat in kinda bad shape, and the black is dull. I want them redone in gloss black, and polish/clearcoat.
My wheels on my 20th TTA are perfect.
These 2 sets are for 2 other cars.
I figured that if someone close to me did it, I could drop them off, and pick them up, saving on shipping for 8 wheels.
Then, depending on the price, I would probably also do my spare 2 sets of rear wheels.

Thanks,

George
