I just added Smoothie IIs to my L recently. I had to have the tires pulled off to add Nitto 555r's this past weekend. The asses scratched the wheels up badly enough that they'll need to be re-polished. I guess they laid them down flat on the concrete floor in the garage. Anyway, I've almost decided to just go ahead and have them chromed instead of re-polished. How much should I expect to pay for this? I've made one inquiry already and was quoted $800.00 for all four. Does this sound reasonable? I assume this includes shipping, since it's a local wheel shop taking care of everything.

 

Maybe you'd just be better off buying an aftermarket chrome wheel? I was considering chroming my wheels also but after asking around I came to the conclusion that its not worth it. Saw a sweet set of 20's on ebay for $1200. I'm sure you could find replacement 18" wheels for cheaper then that.

...Misread your post. Thought you had stock wheels. Nevermind!

 

Check here for some price comparisons

 

take them back to the place that switched the tires and tell them to fic it, thats BS

 

I'm already dealing with them. This is a separate issue entirely. Believe me, they are gonna pay.

 

That's exactly what I was looking for. I may even use those guys. 40 years in the business is an attractive feature. $800.00 seems a little high compared to what they charge; but, only by about 100 bucks. If I can get installation included from the local guy, it might be worth it to avoid the shipping and receiving headaches.

Thanks a lot!
