I have Volk GT-C's and also need a good place to fix major curb rash and refinish.

Thanks

Some VR wheels are anodized, so they cannot be refinished conventionally. Re-anodizing is the only proper way to do it, and it's usually cost prohibitive. If you have the anodized finished, then just wash and clean. Aside from curb rashing, it should be a very robust finish.

+1 You should try calling some volk venders and get some quotes for just the outside of the rim and replace them.
