Got the estimates today. Both are complete restoration w/powdercoat:

Glenn's Wheel Polishing - $150/wheel including mounting & balancing. 2-3 day turnaround.

Transwheel - $155/wheel PLUS $15/wheel for mounting & balancing. 5-7 day turnaround.



I also found out today that this mobile repair place that they want me to use is the same service most used car lots use to repair damaged wheels. It is basically a band-aid fix by just touching up the wheels w/paint. That would be great if I were selling my car tomorrow, however this shit won't cut it in the long run.

So a complete refinish, per Glenn, is the only way to truely guarantee the longevity of the repairs. Hopefully this shop's insurance carrier will feel the same way.
