Wheel fixing

Two of my OEM wheels were scratched badly by the previous owner and I want get them fixed. I hear that this is doable, but I was wondering if someone has any recommendation for a place to go to in the Bellevue/Seattle area.

Many thanks.

Rim Plating

My chrome rims are a mess, too. It looks like California is the main place for around $145/rim for chrome. However, for that price plus shipping there/back, removal of tire, re-install tire, plus having the car out of comission for 2 weeks I am seriously considering new rims.

If it is not chrome, check with local tire shop they will know where to go.

The best of the best in Seattle is Seattle Wheel.

http://seattlewheel.com/

They do great work. Had my wheels straightened and considering a new finish and a few of the same repairs.

Good Luck!

Thank you all for the info. My wheels don't have the chrome finish, so hopefully this will make it easier to repair. I'll checkout SeattleWheel next week.
