For a one-location straightening and refinish, I would contact Espo’s Powdercoating in NYC.

@espospowdercoating on Instagram. His work is top notch.

I’m surprised Espo’s came up here…

They will fix and powdercoat. This lip was DESTROYED. I mean pretty much folded in on itself destroyed. When I bought them I just had the previous owner have espo’s do what they could to fix the bent wheel. There is still a little vibration which leads to some of the wheel fasteners breaking. I’ll have to have the lip replaced, but it was amazing what they could actually do.

OH, and ADV wanted between 6-7k to just repair the wheel and refinish the wheels. Espo’s will do the same for ~$900-$1000 depending on colors etc. That’s a dissembling, replacing a new lip, reassembling, and powdercoat. They can also replace barrels if those are shot too.

I think it was like 50-75 to powdercoat per wheel, again, depending on the color you choose.

Awesome thats for the info. My drive front doesnt wheels isnt crazy at the lip. I think the barrel is bent. Hopefully it wont cost too much to fix.

What car do you have the ADVs on?

I have them on my C63. Replacing a barrel at espo’s is something like 180-200. But it depends on the wheel and if he can get that specific barrel. He’s a distributor for larger wheel companies so he just quoted me based on my ADV’s and ease of access to parts for him.
