Sorry for the crappy cell pics, but you get the idea.

The price he quoted me with $125 per wheel for "cosmetic fixes" $125 for "straightening" or $200 for both. Only one would need both, the others would just need cosmetic fixes, bringing the proposed total to ~$575.

The third one was sourced from a different location than the other three, one in the third picture has the OEM bright silver finish, other three were powdercoated lime green (thank you Mike Burroughs)

then the first two were cheaply covered in silver (green now showing through ) and the last is chromed. What's really got me considering other places is that AWRS doesn't do powdercoating or refinishing at all, ideally I'd like the place that's repairing the wheels and knows where the imperfections are and how they were fixed to do the refinishing for the wheels and center caps too.

Also 4CED-FED I'm loving the wheels you chose, the high offset is nice and the spokes really show off those big calipers.

Also, PLEASEEEE dont paint your wheels neon yellow. 2 cars in Roanoke with neon yellow wheels is already enough

I've got it narrowed down to either the OEM finish (like in the third picture) or full chrome. You've sold me on Chrome Wheel Works on price alone, at that price point I can afford to have them done just in time to take them off for salt season.
