Looking to get the wheels on the Evo refinished to OEM appearance this winter. Can anywhere ‘local’ do this?

Thanks. Don’t think they are coming to Ti though (without paying a hefty fee). I’ll talk to them about bringing them down!

what needs to be done? Any curb repair? Just a sandblast & respray? Like dave said, I have done many wheel sets. Just pick the color.

If KK or Big Red don’t end up not wanting to a friend of mine owns a shop and would respray them. Very nice guy, price and quality are also very good.
