Hey guys. I want to refinish set of wheels. No paint or powder coat. Get them looking like new stock. Any recs?

brought my wheels to wheel rim group two weeks ago. They just finished them. They messed up two wheels in the process and redid them. I went to pickup today and they totally missed the powerdercoat of the lug nuts areas and the clearcoat had a waveyness to them. I felt bad for them to had to redo them again but all 4 wheels are being redone. I expected better. They just looked cheap. Hopefully this time they will be more attentive.

I only have 1mm left of my rears and wanted to get these on stat

Flood waters high on those ALF wheels. Diamond Plate/ Axes / Turnout coat seat / Fire Extinguishers / Coors Light on the bar carry the theme nicely.

Edit: Very Close to the great Callahan Auto Parts in Sandusky! Must have been a factory favorite.

First of four in production heading to Canada to make some boom. No payload when it leaves here, we don't touch the stuff. Around 15tons when rollin' dirty.

Seeing a lot of modified pickup trucks lately although this one looked mostly factory But still had a pretty big lift in it. Also it’s a diesel.

This rolled right past my house Yesterday afternoon the color was more orange red than red but looked nice with the blacked out wheels.

That's such an unusual configuration. It's NOT articulated, right? All 4 front wheels turn?

OK, how's this for an idea/semi-plan? We meet late morning (10-11am?) at BRR for coffee and car checkouts, grab some BBQ takeout and go for a short (or longer?) cruise around the area and wind up at Conclave for a quick beer? Conclave opens at 1pm, so times can be adjusted as needed. Just spit-balling here.

Can you bring a Modern Car?

In the Email they say "classic (or any cool car)" so I'm assuming were good!

I would debate that the Metro qualifies as "cool" though.
