    Default Wheel Refinishing

    Since i have been helping a few people out with refinishing wheels i thought i would offer it to the larger EW community.

    pricing breakdown is a follows, this is a rough estimate since each set of wheels is different and as such each job will be evaluated and quoted.

    Disassembly and Reassembly of multi-piece wheels: $30 flat fee per set
    Bolt Polishing: $30 flat fee per set
    Welding: $20 per wheel (outsourced)
    Rash Repair: $25 per wheel
    Polished Lips: $50 per wheel
    Polished Faces: $50 per wheel (as a general rule but mesh wheels are going to be extra)
    Painted Faces: $50 per wheel (as a general rule but mesh wheels are going to be extra)
    Powdercoating: outsourced and price depends on condition and color choice
    Dismount, remount, and Balance: ~$30 per wheel (done at Samaritan tire)

    Other custom services can be provided for additional cost.

    I am not charging a markup on outsourced work, a receipt will be provided with final invoice.

    Wheels can either be delivered to me or i charge a flat $10 fee for pickup and drop off.

    I am also set up to take credit cards for a additional 2.83% fee.

    Please PM me if you are interested. :thumb up:

    You should post up work you've done in the past. People probably know about the art wheels you had on your 325, but it's been a while since they've been seen around these parts. I suggest a little refresher for potential customers

    Default Valve Cover/intake

    I was wondering how much would you charge to polish a valve cover and intake for a 1.8T?

    hey everyone!

    i have gotten a LOT more interest in this than i was expecting. I just got back from euro hanger and my flight to canada (cousin's wedding) departs MSP at 6:15am so i am going to bed. I will put together quotes for everyone while i am gone.

    and just so everyone knows i have a stand-up buffer with 12" polishing wheels to do lips and large surface areas if people are wondering what sort of equipment i am using.

    right now my prices are set really low because i didn't want to overcharge people, i reserve the right to change them in the future but i will NEVER raise the price on someone that has already received a quote.
