Wheel Refinishing

Has anyone used Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists to refinish their wheels? They are a nationwide franchise operation that works with dealers and retail customers. I spoke to them and they said they would charge $110 per wheel to do the refinishing and they offer a lifetime warranty on the finish.

I am looking to buy a teal cobra that has some pretty bad staining on the wheels with some peeling clear. I was looking for a company to refinish the wheels with the OEM finish and came across this company. Any other good companies out there?

I would just find a good powder coat shop. 110 is a lot to just repaint 1 wheel, if you have any skilz you can do it yourself a lot cheaper.

There are a few good posts out there on SVT with the PPG paint code, as well as some guys that did powdercoat for about $60 a wheel and the results were pretty much dead on to the OEM paint.
