Good place to polish my wheels.....
« on: March 09, 2005, 11:46:14 AM »

Anyone recommend any place in particular to take my wheels to get polished?

I asked London and apparently his guy disappeared.
I asked Jimmy where he took his wheels, but he has not responded yet.

I want to get them to the shop within a week or so.

i'd suggest spec wheels up in denver.

edit:  there is also a guy that ONLY does polishing here in town.  he won't strip or clear coat.  you'd have to take them some where else for that.

Look up a place called J&S in the phone book (Co Springs), he can do it.

I have my wheels at Absolute Stripping right now, recommended by the guys at Spectrum Powder.  We'll see how he does in  week when they are done.

Be careful of Spectrum Powdercoating - they had my wheels for weeks on end, had to powder them several times, and I still didn't get the results that I expected.

Granted, they gave me a huge discount in the end...

That's weird to hear Josh.

No, I'm not saying they're bad, but they definitely had lots of trouble with the Porsche wheels for some reason. :screwy: They had to strip and coat them four times before they were like "We can keep trying this or you can have them all in their current state for cheap." After six weeks I just wanted them back.

I've spent at least $700 at Spectrum on Powder Coating and been very happy. I just got my front beam and  rear axle tubes done.

Wouldn't "Audi TT ALMS Replicas" be more exact? Since I'm pretty sure the RS4 has a 5x112 bolt pattern, and the TT is 5x100. Anyway you call it, I love those wheels. They look good on almost every newer VW and Audi...

Ah man, I thought you were going to tell me some fabulous place to take 'em.  Guess I'll call around again on Monday.  J&S said they would do the face only and it was a very reasonable price, but I don't want 'em like that (oh yes, I am whining). :mad:
