Precision Rim Repair isnt in Hamilton, but they do exactly what you are looking for, as I stated in my pm. Talk with Ric and tell him your from TCC.

i'd go with affiliates as well for the discount, but if you really want it done locally, i guess wheel wizards on barton would be your best bet

refinishing costs quite a damn bit. from the quotes i got for a set of sir's i used to own, it was always 80-90$ per rim which isn't worth it.

if i were u, i'd try to polish them using chemicals u can pick up at canadian tire.

it wont get rid of the curb rash though. u can even strip all the clearcoat and then try to polish it and reclearcoat it yourself.

paint them to whatever colour you want by yourself. not worth it to have them refinished at 90 bucks a pop.

mine costed 5bills..

i think its personal preference... i would buy rims... but then turn it around the following year and sell them..

my GSR's will look awesome once done...
if you seen them when i bought them, u would consdier other buying these new or even if they the buyer said they were mint...

the wheels was in pretty rough shape!
