    Default Can't wait till I get my wheels back from the shop!!

    This is killin me... I dropped these things off last week, and it's gonna be another week till it's done! They're getting acid stripped down to bare metal, metal added to all 4 wheel lips to repair bad curbing almost all the way around each wheel, bends taken out, getting those huge lips polished to a mirror finish on a high-speed polisher, and the centers resprayed in standard wheel silver.

    This is the guy that did my girlfriend's wheels...





    The before pictures I took...

    That first pic is probably the most flattering pic I've ever seen of an E36. I was never about it, but that one's gorgeous.

    Good luck with the rims. Keep us posted!

    Not sure yet, depends how much work it ends up taking. He's very reasonable, my estimate is between $400-600.

    Pretty sure they're old RZ's... I've heard old RG, but those look like style 5's, 3-pc... these are one-piece, no rivets
