) ..Does anybody know of a Place in Southern California that can repair it ??

Here's a pic ..Resolution sucks but you get an idea [image]http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/data/500/716Picture_0321-med.jpg[/image]

yellow...isnt't here a wheels america in your area...they're from east coast to west coast. I think their website is wheelsamerica.com or something similar.

Yellow: There is a wheels america up in Northern Cal, i beleive in the Bay Area. Give them a call, they have a super fast turn around time and i know the one in Dallas does great work. 100 bucks to fix that wheel.

Fuscucla: Those are minor scratches on your arm, etc..etc... they'll buff right out.

Let me know if you don't find a place down there Jeff, there is a place up here that is recommended by some friends.

XS TORQ · May 13th, 2004, 02:09 PM

Jeff,
That is small enough that you could fix it by sanding it out w/ sandpaper. 600 grit, them 1000, etc.

**Roadkill** · May 13th, 2004, 03:34 PM

So Jeff.. who did that? you let others drive your car?

beckertb · May 13th, 2004, 04:38 PM

I agree with XS TORQUE. If your wheels are not clear coated, and just high polish, get some 400 grit paper, some 800, 1200 and some mothers. It won't take you very long--even if you do it by hand. That is one of the greatest advantages IMO of the raw aluminum finish of HRE's. If you were closer, I'd be happy to tidy it up for you. BTW, great choice of wheels [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

Best of luck,

Hi Guys , thanks for the Feedback ..I found a local guy that will buff it out.
If it doesn't come out as good as new I'll just send the all four of my wheels out and just have the Lips Chromed.
