Well my new rims are here but I will be keeping my old ones for winter. Six years of salt has chewed them up and I'm thinking of having them refinished. They are in various states of badness but this one is the worst. Yikes. I'm wondering what it would cost to have all four of them redone? I plan on calling the body shop for an estimate but I thought I'd ask what I might expect it to cost.

wow, i dont think ive ever seen any rim that bad...[:'(]

any pics of the new ones?

 

they're still in the boxes, but soon my car will be 10 times sexier

 

clean, keepin it mostly stock then?

 

Are those new wheels off a stock Honda? If so, can you tell me what type they are cause I wanna keep mine stock lookin when I do get it.

 

Wow,

Yeah, that's ate up


you can call around or check out these guys you know you wanna click it

There's always the aircraft stripper, wash, and paint them polyurethane silver. Your results may vary though. You might wanna buy an old wrecking yard wheel and practice on it first

 

They are 16s from the current Honda Factory Performance package option. List price is $200 each but you can find them for $115-$120 online.

 

Well to answer my own question I looked up a few places online, and they charge $120-$160 PER WHEEL. I could REPLACE them for less than that!

So now the question is, do I drive around with crap-looking rims for 4-5 months out of the year? or buy something new just for winter? or try and fix them up myself?!?

 

i just got some flat black fat fives with brand new tires for 200...they arent in the best shape but the tires alone are worth what i payed...i think im gunna use the aircraft acid to take the flat black off then redo them in gunmetal...bronze...im not sure...but probably gun metal cuz i might paint the car flat black...what u guys think?
