You may want to look local for a wheel repair company or local body shops/custom shops vs shipping them. One thing to consider cardid replacement brand, and OER reproduce these wheels now... your talking 800-900 a set but in factory clear coat.
Though I'm sure thirdgenranch will do a great job so if shipping isn't too bad, it may be worth it.

 

here is one in your own back yard......https://www.awrswheelrepair.com/pittsburgh

 

Best check shipping charges before you decide. Could be substantial if you have to pay shipping both ways (which I'm sure you would). I would guess at least $150 added to that $250. Plus the extra down time involved in shipping back and forth. I had mine done by a local shop and paid $385 for four wheels and got them back in a week. I've had pretty good luck with Denny, but you are at his mercy once you've shipped the wheels to him. Purchased a restored TA steering wheel and two weeks turned into almost six weeks. Not all his fault as he was contracting for the wheels, but that's the thing about paying someone else to do something; you have no control over the process or how many hands it has to pass through before it gets back to you. If you hire a "local" shop and they screw around too long you can just go pick 'em up and go elsewhere. Good luck.

 

For some reason I'm thinking Keystone offers a refurb service, mail in your wheels, pay the piper, receive refinished wheels. I think I'd probably talk to a few local body shops and see who they have repair wheels. I haven't looked recently, but I dealt with a small shop several years ago that could straighten bent wheels, weld up damage, blend it in, and refinish to look decent. Can't remember the name or even the name of the small town where they were located, but I remember it was cheap to have a wheel fixed. It was one of those local rumors, the guy who lives on top of a smoky mountain that can fix your busted wheel for 2 pigs and a chicken... If you need help, and if you can find him...

 

Shipping from Pitts. to Ohio shouldn't be too bad.
Heck, thats even a nice overnite roadtrip with the ol' lady and the hotrod!

 

I hope its better than their t-top refurbishing.

 

 

One thing to think about is, are the Rock Auto ones the same quality as your OE wheels? I don't know the answer but usually not.

Do they have any before and after pics of wheels they've done?

 

 

 

 

 

the factory finish have machine lines in them, unless you put it on a lathe and take a thin layer off you will loose this on any refinishing that requires metal work. If you do it at home you can do this.
Stripper to remove the clear coat
using buffing compounds of
80
220
320
Then here is the decision, use a high quality clear coat that will stand up to the heat and not yellow or keep going. If you clear it at this stage it will look very close to the factory, but without the machine lines.

Polishing to a shine will be followed with
Tripoli Compound
White Rouge Compound

Many of the places also sell refurbished wheels vs true aftermarket wheels. If you plan on driving the car personally I would say put the factory wheels in a safe place and throw on a good set of reproductions so if they get damaged they are replaceable. And since you live in the rust/salt/snow belt...


A drill and this is all you need and about 2 days to do all 4 wheels. Aircraft stripper and paint/clear of your choice.

There is quite a few people on here that have posted about doing it themselves in good detail. I would think heavily on that option IMHO.... I would also read some post about anyone or any service you were thinking about using (before) deciding on also. Make an informed decision because there is alot of good information on here to do so on both
