Wheels refinished!! Restoring an 1987 IROC Z. Had my wheels refinished locally. I'm happy with the results! Before https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...606530d1be.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...4ce75ae10e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...cc548e5a15.jpg after |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Did they clear coat them? |
Re: Wheels refinished!! I had mine done a few years ago and with the clear coat the popped! Plus the clear coat prevents the normal oxidisation of the aluminum if they are exposed to the elements. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...becb14f0d4.jpg |

Did they clear coat them? Yes clear coated with a satin finish. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...8e5a9bd052.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...ab7cd5051a.jpg |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Looks awesome! |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Only catch is that most of these look better after being refinished than they did new. GM left a rough surface, almost like a record when the wheels were machined. The refinishers seem to be making them a little too smooth. Either way they look great! |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Very good! I need to polish and repaint mine. |

They're a great match for the 3rd Gen. They do look better than factory. The satin finish blends nicely with your color scheme. How much to get your refinished? |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Nice! |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Beautiful! |
Re: Wheels refinished!! I have to do mine. They look great |
Re: Wheels refinished!! Thanks for the compliment! They were a little pricey........150/each! |
Re: Wheels refinished!! That's about right. I paid $225 Canadian for mine but that's prepped, painted, lathed and cleared. I know I could have bought aftermarket ones for less but there's something about those rims that just match these cars perfectly IMO. |
