They make it look easy, its doable but you need a lot of patience. FYI: my konig 17's were curbed badly too..i was quoted 150-200 from wheelamerica(depending on what color) to get them refinished. I ended up selling my rims to another local solaraguy...cus i wanted to go back to my 16's.

That was CASH pricing...if you catch my drift! :lol: (no invoice, no taxes, no record, no warranty..hence cash). Wheel America is known for refinishing wheels. Pricing was for all 4's. I see pricings around houston from 200-250 now a days for warrantied wheels refinishes. But those are for badly scratched wheels..mine weren't that bad...
