Good place in Tampa to get wheels refinished/repainted

[CobraSpdRH]

Just wondering if anybody here has any good experiences with a certain shop in particular for getting there wheels refinished and/or repainted. My 19" Konig Imagines are kinda scratched up on the lip and they could stand to be repainted but I don't want to bring them to some hack. I know wheel tec could probably do it but they are kinda far from the USF area, any ideas? I think there is a place on Florida north of Bearss that does it but I have no idea how their quality rates.

Thanks guys

Transwheel in Lutz is going to fix the damage Tire Kingdom inflicted on your old wheels when I put Luke's tires on the fronts. I'll let you know how they do.

cali knows a guy that did his wheels, and they turned out really well.

There's also Glenn's wheel polishing (pricey). Either way, I hope they do a good job on your (my old) wheels.

there is actually a place right on bearass and 41 near the train tracks and the european car lot. they powdercoat and do other things to wheels. never heard if there good or bad but its close to usf .

Yeah I've been in to Transwheel before but I didn't end up getting the work done there, just ordered a whole new wheel instead.

When you say that Glens is "pricey", what exactly are we talking about for all 4? I'm looking to spend between 3-400 for refinishing the lip and repainting of the centers. How much is transwheel costing tire kingdom also? They better make your/my old rims all better!

BTW I pulled my turbo yesterday and it was leaking oil between 2 bolts on the exhaust side on the turbo, had oil on the lower portion of my heatshield and the oil return line, so now I probably have to send it back and get it fixed/replaced...oh well

I believe this is transwheel b/c they are just north of Bearss on business 41

Get them done at Glen's... no questions asked... best place in tampa... you get what you pay for...

[CobraSpdRH]

So the resounding answer seems to be Glens. I tried to find him in the yellow pages but to no avail does anybody have an addy and phone #? I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for so no problem paying more for better quality work
