    Glad it's all working out. Would be pretty tight to have them polish the lips for free.

    got it today. just as i thought.. super-bling.. i'll be pulling the lips and sending them to get polished for free. or just the whole wheels. still haven't decided yet. looks like really good work though. hopefully it's sealed well.

    Good to hear that you're happy. It gets pretty scary when you put your trust in someone, and everything's great before you give them your money, then once they have your cash, communications stop, and you're left second guessing yourself. I understand shit can get pushed back, and deadlines can come and go, but, as long as there is open lines of communication between parties, everyone will be on the same page. POST SOME PICTURES!!!!

    WOW, that looks great! Nice mirror finish. Do they do any dynamic balancing? To say, is the wheel "trued" after the dent is taken out?

    Dang, that did turn out pretty good! I'd definitely send the others to get polished to match it, especially if they'll do it for free.

    That wheel looks fantastic! I'm gonna have to remember that site for any future rim disasters.
