They probably pay a local body shop $70 each and then mark them up...

Default Stopped by Keystone today

Got by the local Keystone shop here in the Detroit area today (unfortunately they moved on labor day and haven't updated address on their webpage). Just as an fyi for folks this Keystone shop is charging to refinish at $100 per Mustang 10-hole wheel with a 2-3 day turnaround for an order. No quantity discounts unless you have 100s to refinish .

I had mine painted @ $50/wheel. I am satisfied with the finish. Had a shop down the street do it. They are in Berkley, MI. Only bad thing was that a kid at Discount tire put a weight on the outside when I specifically asked for them to be on the inside, then realized his mistake and moved it to the inside, but chiped the paint on the rim!

Picked up my newly restored 10 hole wheels from Keystone today. See the attached pics. The good news...they look real nice and I got them for $85/each instead of $100 each.

The other news...Keystone (at least Michigan one) has a diff't supplier they send the wheels to now and therefore whatever codes they use to restore these wheels are diff't. Evidently they have far fewer codes than old supplier and therefore have fewer codes to set up a match. They did my wheels twice to try and see if they could match closer (I provided a center cap for reference / Keystone told me they do not refinish center caps). Turned out just a slight touch glossier than the center caps. I did not press the center cap into the wheel yet but I placed it in there to snap one of the attached photos for a comparison picture.

Real close but the scuitinizing eye may notice a slight difference. A set of restored 10 holes recently sold that appeared alot glossier than mine turned out. When I originally placed my order I made sure they knew it needed to be a satin finish (thanks Jim for that advice). It was good I made that clear up front. All and all I'm pleased with them and they will look awesome on the 93 Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP when installed this Spring .
