Where to get Rims Professionally Repolished?

Hey all- I live in the LA area, and want to know a good place where I can have someone polish my rims correctly as I have neither the time nor skills to do it like she deserves.

Thanks

Performance Plus Tire & Auto, Long Beach

I have had a good experience with Performance Plus Tire and Auto in Long Beach. They polished the lips on my TA's wheels for $20.00 per wheel. This took care of some nasty curb rash on the outside of the wheels and they came out beautiful. I refered Lon to them a while back and believe he had good luck with them too. I called and checked to verify prices for polishing. They told me it can differ from wheel to wheel but is around $20.00 for lip only and around $37.50 for lip and face. They also have great prices on tires and wheels and do custom suspension work.
They are located at 3910 Cherry Ave Long Beach 90807, Phone # is 562-988-0211. - Bruce

Thanks for posting that again Bruce. I'd forgotten the name of the place. I also used them (on Bruce's prior recommendation). I had them polish the lips on my WS6 rims I'm using on my 'vert.

Can they paint them as well? I want to paint my original Firehawk wheels black like the SLP ones so I can get them on the GTA. After I find the centercaps that is.

Call them and ask.

I gave the phone #. Call them and ask if they can paint the face. If they don't they may be able to refer you to a place that does. - Bruce
