Anyone know a place in South Florida. Pref around the Palm Beach County area?

Or anything I can do myself?

The lips are a little scrathed up and some of the clear is coming off.

 

when did you pick up volks? which ones were they? the gts on sale down south?

 

Naw man, did you check the TCZCC myspace page? Some pics are there. They are the sf challenges.

 

Sweet, nice pickup. Those are some great wheels.

 

Thanks. I just wish I could get the lips perfect on them. Anyone???

 

Anyone?

 

I will call wheels botique in miami tom. and post any suggestions they've got.

 

^ Thanks.

After about 30 mins of researching the topic, I have nearly come to the conclusion that I either need to deanodized the lip and then sand down the finish and polish. Seems that not too many places even know how to work on the volk finish and rays does not let out torque specs either.

Seems to me that for the price of these wheels, that there would be a better finish on the lips and better support on how to re polish them. At this point, I would rather have them raw and just apply sealant and wax after every polish than to deal with a delicate clear coat.

 

turbax can polish them.
for $150 i believe they remove curbage, so maybe polishing is somewhat cheaper?

give them a call.

 

You can have the clear removed and polish the bare aluminum but personally i dont think it looks very good after....... pretty dull (at least the ones i've seen)

I dont know of any place that can re-clear them to the original finish.

good luck

 

Silver - jun is spot on. i couldn't recall the name. if turbax can't handle em
you're basically screwed. they are industry leaders and only handle refinishing.

best of luck. lakers is also correct, they can get them to 99% tho.

 

Ill give them a call and see what they say. Too bad they are in Miami though, thats about 2 hours or so from me.

 

miguel had some place in texas fix his wheels after he beat them up really bad. if i remember right it was something like 150/ea but they are perfect. might wanna try getting a hold of him. cant remember if that was with shipping or not.

ive polished aluminum before and you can get that down to a mirror shine. not sure how it works with volk lips and if they are the same way.

 

Well from what Ive read, im just going to live with it. It seems like too much hassle. Only one rear is noticeable. Everything else is mitt scratches that you have to be right on top of to see.

If it comes down to it. Ill just strip the clear and keep the lip polished weekly. I don't have a problem polishing them all the time, the car is garage kept.

 

turbax refinished one of my oem rays track wheels, and did a fantastic job. if they say they can do the polishing, i would trust them based on the work they did to my wheel.

 

i will be refinishing four of these wheels i have in my garage to sell. if you want to bring it by when i do these, we should be able to sand/wetsand the curb rash out of it without a problem. from there you just clearcoat it once it's completely clean.

its a two piece wheel right (almost certain)

 

Yeah its a two piece wheel.

Im just going to stick with it for awhile. Ill wait and see if it gets worse, then Ill take action on them. Thanks for the offer though!

 

I had some curb damage repaired, wheels straightened, and polished by First Place Wheels a little while ago. He did a great job, $100 a wheel, and had it done in a day.

 

^ Was it a Volk wheel?

 

No, mine weren't Volks. But the guy does a lot of the high-end two piece wheels. The price will probably be a little more, but he'll negotiate a deal with you and he comes to you to do the work.
