Did you buy these Volks locally? Also what company did you use to repolish the lips?

I did buy them locally. I got them from the member Allstock, who I think actually bought them from you...small world I had them refinished at, what is now, Protech Wheel Repair in Lawrenceville, but I really wasn't happy with the color of the spokes; so the second time around I went with John at Holt Wheels Import Collision in Marietta. I spent a solid hour looking at paint swatches trying to find the right color, and I think that is definitely the best way to get the right color you are looking for if you are getting them repainted.

I agree, but I went a different route (see pic below)

Ahh... I was thinking Alliance, but wasn't sure because of the different colors of the rotor hats and calipers. Looks great!

Lol I kinda had a hunch those were my old wheels. I realy loved them. Yeah a body shop messed the lips up not even a week after getting my car back from old Z back from Forged after TTing. A cleaner stripped off the clear coat. I like the new color better than your original painted color. Car is looking great.

Thanks, When I got them I could tell something was up with them, but I wasn't too sure. I would have gone crazy if a shop f'ed them up so soon after getting them!

Good luck selling your G, definitely one of the sickest out there!
