the only problem with reman wheels is the fact that once a wheel is bent and then straightened its a little bit weaker and could bend again ... but i think this is a decent deal if you wrap the wheels with a meaty tire so it will be added protection for the wheel

It's a crapshoot, but many people ride on fixed wheels and have no problem.

many places only deal with cosmetic refinishing...I'd call and talk to them before buying. i had planned on buying a set of refinished aspecs from a place and they told me that they only refinish cosmetic blemished wheels. i ended up getting a great deal from a dealer on a new set.

LOL...finishline.com sells a different kind of shoe, not for cars. I'm sorry I just had to say it!

allfactorywheels.com

They were even able to get the 04 version (8.5" wide) and finish them in either Hyper Silver, Sparkle Silver, or Chrome. I believe they were around $950 shipped. I was going to go with the 04 version in the hypersilver.
