Default 10 hole wheels machined polished

The best I have found in the KCMO area to re-polish / machine the 10 hole wheel is $ 100.00 a wheel. NOS wheels are going for $300.00 EACH.

My Santa Clara Car Wheels are perfect, and a previous owner had these professionally polished out. Where is everyone sending their wheels and how much? The FHP car are ok, but really need a make over to make the car. I have found a good source for powder coating the 10 hole at $40.00 a wheel in KCMO, and have an extra set. Just want to bring new life back in the 10 holes !

Jim - I'm going to be getting some re-done here this winter. They have a shop in my area too, which is great.

Keystone will make them look like new. They also do the back sides. You need to tell them you want them a satin finish. If you don't they will put way to much clear on them and they will NOT look original.
