I recently had my wheels refinished by Curbed (http://curbed.ca) and the process was really painless and overall they did a great job.
I opted to jump in both feet and got a complete rebuild, polish, and refinish using my original lips and hardware.
The turnaround time for this job was just under 4 weeks and the center color is Sizzling Crimson Mica. The full review (and more pics) can be found here on stanceiseverything.com (http://www.stanceiseverything.com/2011/05/service-review-curbed-wheel-repair/)

I'm sure most of us are eager to know how much the entire process costs.

+1 outta curiosity
But ppl should also note that you can't really use it as a guideline for your own quote seeing as every rim is different and might require a different process

Wow they look great Dave! I used Curbed as well for my Volk GTP's. Turnaround time took a little longer than Dave's because my wheels have a machined look.
Overall very impressed with their work. Now I have to clean up my center caps and wheel bolts.

It does vary, for a 3 piece like mine about 220ish per. So make sure you love the wheels.

Dave this will hopefully be your last set. It's rare like you want and it has nice fitment. I may refinish my wheels at curbed when I have the chance

I don't see myself getting another set of wheels anytime soon after the amount of work I have put into these.
However this is only my second set of wheels for this car :P

Ya I paid a cost to be lazy lol.
Mike is a good guy to work with though so if you come to him with a budget he will do his best to work within it.

I'd like to see it installed... can't picture it in my head. I can see it going with Aitch's car though. BTW what are the specs of the wheels?

Bada$$ to da bone!! They look awesome!! $220 per tire is a bit pricey. Get any quotes from other places before deciding?

I did, I could have got only polishing for less but then the centers would have looked worse.

This is one of my options for my bbs for next summer. I have access to a sandblaster and pro painting equipment, so gonna weigh the pros and cons of going with curbed or splitting up the process.

Dave, the wheels look awesome!
We also use/recommend a lot of our clients to Mike @ Curbed.ca and all have had positive experiences with Mike
Greatest thing is they're mobile so he will come to you!

Yay! There's hope for me yet ! I have RX8 wheels that are pretty rough.
Cost to refinish them? I have photos :)

Curbed is essentially dead. My reccos
RORO Designs
Stripping Tech
Precision Wheel Repair
I recommend and know all of these guys personally and can vouch.
Union Rim Repair is a company I can vouch for. They are easy to deal with, but make sure you make an appointment unless you like waiting all day. They can even do quick patch jobs. Don't expect it to be perfect for that type of work. If you do get it refinished you will love the work.
Recommend union rim repair as well from experience.
