Premium wheels?

In my 2001 C2, I have the premium wheel package. Question, should the surface of the wheel be chipping? What can I do, aside from buy a replacement?

I am sure they should not be chipping but considering the fact that they are, first - you should not have to buy a new wheel (very expensive) 2) there are many professionals that do wheel restoration (if you post for a referral I am sure someone can direct you to a local/tested professional) 3) If they are similare in color to my 2001 Boxster wheels you can repair them yourself if you are so inclinded...you will find a DYI at Renntech.com (easy to do, hardest part was finding the Wurth paint)...Hope that helps!

they shouldnt chip unless you are hitting curbs or something

you can get them re-finished for probably between $125-200 a rim depending on the severity of the damage

I know a guy in the Springs that'll fix small chips/scratches and paint the wheel for $80, if you're interested PM me
