Dead thread but need to bump it back up with the car coming back together. The upkeep is still going to be an issue and would like to figure out a way to solve it.

Does anyone know where I could send the wheels to be refinished? Most companies as far as I know don't want to work on a different brand wheels. I think I want to brush the lips and powdercoat the spokes.

That looks awesome! Who did you have do the work? I am assuming you had Rushforth do the reqork? Also, if you don't mind could you ballpark me a price to have that done?

just brush the lips. thats what i did. Best thing i ever did. Looks 10x better than polished or chrome and is easy to take care of.

Is there a process you followed or did you take it someplace? Did you clearcoat or anything afterwards? If not what is the cleaning and care process from brushed raw aluminum?
