Default Can you post some contact info for them? I live in Pittsburgh, and I'd rather send my wheels...

there than have to pay shipping to California. TIA.

Default You could also use Wheel Collision Center in eastern PA.

It's in Bath PA. Sorry, I don't have contact info. I do remember that AW did a write up on their facilities sometime within the last six months, so you might check the news archives.

Default Take some before and after pics!

The Oett's are a funny wheel. They have the machined lip, and the painted center. I'm curious how they would come out after they are done. I would call you a mule, however I've heard many good things about these folks, so I don't think there is reason for concern. If it can be done right, they will certainly do that...I'd just like to see the outcome (pics).

Default Actually, the only rash is on the polished lip. Probably a very easy fix. But I'll post pics...

when it's all done. Probably won't be until November, but I'll post the pics nonetheless.
