    Wheel restoration

    Does anyone happen to know of any good shops to restore my wheels near San Diego California? I would need the aluminum polished, the black painted on, and the wheel centers painted. There is not much curb rash on the wheels, looking to get all five done.

    Thank you.

    I don't mean to come across as a ass, but did you try using the search function? There are a lot of threads on here about wheel refinishers. Considered the best is Harvey Weidman, but there are others that have been recommended on here.

    Seems like you are not really looking for a restoration . There are many shops that can do what you want . Restored would be new anodizing on the wheels with new paint and unpainted center caps . You do not need Harvey Wiedman for what you want .

    You will regret polishing them. Annodize is the right way. Harvey Wiedman is your man.

    That is possible, however, most shops can't really do anything but clean and paint and proper masking is surprisingly difficult. For a job you will be happy with, send them to a shop that specializes in these wheels or you will most likely regret it and have to pay to have it done again. Guess how I know?
