It will get pricey, but the places i plan on using are "Precision Wheel" in Branford CT, for straightening and prepping the wheel, Then "American Dry Stripping" in Milford, CT for blasting the wheel and powdercoating...

My buddy did this to a set of completely neglected HRE Comp20's - The wheels were bought brand new by one friend and then sold to another friend - Curb rash, nicks scratches, bends, i dont even think theyve ever been polished...

After the process they came out looking pretty much brand new, overlooking certain imperfections that nothing short of a miracle would have fixed.

But again this was pricey for him, I think it was something like 100 bucks a wheel at both places, so upwards of 8-900 bucks, but considering the price of a new wheel from HRE, it was definately worth it.

might be cheaper to just buy new ones, seeing the OEM wheels go for as little as $500 on ther set without tires. IM me, i think I might have a set to sell, perfect condition too.

I used to be 5 units down from Precision Wheel. He work is good but he takes time to do it so be prepared. There is another guy who operates out of his truck and he has a entire paint booth inside the truck box. It's Mobile Wheel Repair:

I think the guy is Stephen Smith there. Sometimes as Ron said it is cheaper to replace them though.
