Help: Wheel Re-finishing places SE Mi

my Impala SS wheels after doing 17 years of service for me, are starting to diminish in quality. I think it's called pitting what's happening to them. They are Aluminum 17in wheels, where can I get them refinished? (at a reasonable price)

I don't know if they do refinishing, but I know a few people who had their wheels exchanged in Madison Heights:

Looks like a nice place, but it looks like they only Chrome.

there is a place that refinishes. I cant remember the name at the moment.

Call www.weldcraftwheels.com (who does straightening and modification/widening); Im sure they can recommend someone who does it.

Good to know. I talked to James, he said he couldn't do the wheels himself, but gave me the number of a shop he highly recommends. So I have to give them a call.

BTW thanks for linking me, I needed a local forum. The impala SS forum is scary large, and seems to have lost many of its knowledgeable members.

Also, how have I not seen you and your car before, you are literally 5 minutes away from me.

I wish I would have seen your B-body's before you sold them. I feel like I'm the only Impala SS in town. The only other time I find them are in Detroit and those impala's are ghetto ****


I may give that craigslist guy a call, but so far rod442 sent me the best link which was this
https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/sho...wheel+refinish

Unfortunately the guy is 5 hours away from us, but I'm still thinking seriously of taking it to this shop unless someone can find a shop just as good that's local.
