My OEM wheels had been curbed a number of times giving them a taxi cab look. My teenage children and wife always look at me wide-eyed and surprised and respond with "what?". Anyways $195 Cdn for new (refurbished wheels). Get new ones, send the old ones back. They look brand new. Bought 2 of them for now.

and you created this thread for...........???

Anyone in Toronto who might need a refinished wheel, it seems like a good deal and your local mechanic can swap out the wheel and send back the old one.

Unless you need a secret handshake to get in, your thread was lacking certain specific information which would enable Torontonians to take advantage of your serendipitous find.

It is ok to mention a specific business in cases like this, as long as you don't have a personal connection to it.

at this thread.

generally there is a point of discussion brought up and it is elborated on. not here.

We're using the circuitous route and will eventually get to the point.

From the translating dictionary:

In English: serendipitous

In Spanish: serendipitous

Quite an acerbic thread. North South Motors in Toronto can swap you a set of OEM TL refurbished wheels. I found the price to be reasonable and the wheels look new.

Peters

You've demonstrated that rather well.

I'm too lazy to look up the exchange rate, but here in the Midwest we have several companies who will refurbish your wheel for $50-100 and make it look like brand new.

$195 even in Canadian sounds steep to me.

Peters

Its about $162 US. You should have seen my rims - bad shape. Bascially you get new looking rims in a box and you just return yours, regardless of conditon. So for minor dings likely not worth it. For a major re-do, its cheaper than a new one.

I like the look of the stock TL wheels and am thinking of a set of them that have been chromed. I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the vendors that do this? Results?

I've seen some advertisements on ebay (buy their wheels, replace, send yours back - quite similar to what the original poster did).

Thoughts? Success stories? Horror stories?

Thanks.
