Kinesis K58 Re-finishing

Because nobody wanted to purchase my wheels I decided to look for a place to have them re-finished, found Seattle Wheel Service that a lot of the high end car owners use to get their wheels re-finished and at a reasonable price, they just sent me this pic of the first wheel they finished, they should all get shipped back to me by Tuesday with brand new tires, cant wait...

I had them change all the bolts, re-polish the lip and straighten 2 wheels that the tire shop bent when they removed the tire also had the centers powdercoated with a finish that brake dust would not stick on.

Basically it will be all brand new when I get them back.

Here is a pic

David was my contact person and he gave excellent customer service...He text me that pic even without me asking.

Hi Kai,

That is the exact place that I used for all my wheels need. Either repaired, refinished, or mount/balance.
They do good job on all my wheels.

Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Yes, the finish looks really good, I was going to go with a different color but decided that the original looked much better.

Gotta love Alaska Air Cargo, $170.00 to ship all 4 wheels that weigh about 50 lbs each and same day shipping, can't beat that...

That's a shame. I just got my bonus this friday, and was seriously looking at your wheels, and wondering about the spacer stuff, and seeing if I would have to change studs and so on, and now I bump into this thread. They came out really nice. Any chance you can PM me about their pricing. Maybe I'll consider those MS-01 wheels from circuit theory and think about having them reconditioned.
