Default Looking for a shop that can refinish aftermarket rims

Hey guys,

I need your help.
Well, I bought used rims thinking it wouldn't be that bad but I was wrong. I have a set of Maya STMs that need to be refinished. Looks like the brake dust has been sitting on the rims for awhile and ate through the clear coat.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any wheel shops that can fix this in SoCal (preferrably near San Diego)?


Thanks!

I had my STM's redone as well. If you have one of the earlier sets of STM's w/ the hyperblack finish you should probably have the centers powdercoated while the rims are apart. The hyperblack finish is known to peel/chip. That's why they came out with the new machine finish and don't offer hyperblack anymore. Just don't get them powdercoated black, I'm the only one allowed to do that.
