Wheel refinishing?

I bought some wheels cheap off the internet, and I'm looking to have then refinished. I'm looking for a good shop with a good reputation. (sp?) Preferibly on the east coast, as close to me as possible. Mosly just curb damage, it's hard to say if they're REAL bad or just bad. There isn't any big chunks gone, so I guess that's good.

I'm just needing a good shop with good prices. You can't always put a price on quality, but when you're on a budget, you can. I've searched for a few places online but I was needing some personal experiance. Thanks :agree:

The wheels are 17x7 Porsche Cup 2's. Only 3 of the 4 have damage, but I want the fourth wheel cleaned up and painted to match.

When I was looking for someone to machine my front wheels, there were wheel refinishers local to me listed in the yellow pages. Aren't there any in Kentucky or Ontario?

If not, I would check a place which sells used wheels. They must have access as such. Another suggestion is a place which sells bling-bling wheels, and ask them what do you do if you were to debling a wheel.

Now, how'd dem crickets git on my screen?

Thanks, I never thought about looking in the yellow pages. I asked someone and he didn't know of anyplace around here, but maybe Evansville.
