Also does anyone know a good shop to get the work done at?

I need some nicks on the lips filled, the lips repolished, the faces painted and the barrels painted black.

I assume the wheel will need to be disassembled for this process.

The wheel doesn't need to be taken apart. I have the same set of wheels and had my centers powdercoated a darker titanium-like color (similar to your second pic). Wheel Wizard in Chamblee did all the work about a year ago and thus far everything has held up fine. Metro Wheels quoted me a much higher price at the time- hope this helps. :goodjob:

The first one's, well because it's a white car and when you have those wheels polished up w/ that bright finish they shine in the sun like diamonds.

The wheel should be taken apart if you want it done rightt. I wouldnt mind doin them if you can get them dismounted. I painted the wheels on my car in my sig link. Let me know
