Refinish stock wheels, or buy new ones?

[contacthansel]

I have had my MP3 for almost 2 months now (bought it used) The wheels have some curb rash. Should I get them refinished ($100/wheel) or just buy some new rims for the same price? Suggestions please? Thanks.

id probably sell them and get some new rims.

blue MP3 + powdercoated bronze/gold Racing Harts = MAX_OWNAGE

or black powdercoat is sick too.. leave the chrome lip.. that is max ownage.

I have some nasty curb rash. Will powdercoating really help?

what kind of place do you bring wheels to get refinished? I also have some curb rash and just figured i was out of luck.

curb rash wont be fixed though.

there was a link to a do it yourself on a porsche forum awhile back, used body filler and a dremel then painted them, looked like brand new

yeah u just fill the curb rash in with body filler, sand it down to match the contour of the wheel then paint the wheel. not to shabby if u ask me, but im buying rotas (and my wheels aren't for sale)
