Refinishing stock forged centerlocks

Ladies and Gents,

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the factory forged centerlocks refinished. The car arrives in February and I would like to have the stockers powdercoated or done in a brushed tinted clear type finish. I contacted Avant Garde directly and was shot down. I'm still waiting to hear from Kenny at Velos and info at ADV.1 but it doesn't look good.

After seeing this car I'm less and less inclined to shell out for a whole new set of rollers. Those Turbo S wheels look stunning! Any help is appreciated.

Can you tell us who is doing the work? Pricing? Why you chose them?

I found three shops online that look pretty decent:

Seattle Powdercoat
Mile High Powdercoating (Denver)
Espo's Powdercoating (New York)

Kenny at Velos Designwerks said they could refinish the wheels as well but I haven't heard back from him about pricing yet.

Powder coating wheels can be done by any powder coater...so I'd look for a local shop. Doing a brushed clear needs a wheel shop. Wheel Dynamics does refinishing.

Coating specialties in Windsor CO. Family run shop. Have done 2 sets of my SRT wheels came out flawless. I was impressed with the fact that they actually take the time to etch the oem finish off and not just whack away at the wheels with a sandblaster like most other shops. They definitely take their sweet time lol! price can't be beat either
