Tim Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I called Nu Wheel and they can restore my 84's wheels at $150.00 each.Doesn't sound too bad.They can chrome them (I have an extra set) but they do that out of state and it cost about $225 each....yikes....Any thoughts? Is $150 about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah I would look for after markets lighter and better looking. Maybe find a set off a 92-96 that have been polished with good tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I haven't found any original wheels that have been refinished or NOS. But I guess I should look longer.I sort of want to stay with the original wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Try here!!!You can send in yours and get them back, or use the exchange program if they have your version.One of the old members on the CFI forum (supersteve) used them for his CE wheels, he sent them 3 originals and one junk yard rim. When he got them back he couldn't tell them apart!If I remember correctly he paid $550 total, sent from Oklahoma!!! I bet nuwheel uses them to, they just charge more!Here's what he got back!

Ye Ole Wheel Shop(410) 796-84006363 Washington Blvd Elkridge, MD 21075 I bet they can beat that priceGave them a call.They don't do Chroming. They will restore the wheels, but they have to see them first. I asked and they said I'd have to mail them to them and they'd give me a price - usually between 135 and 140. So their restoration would be more (adding in the shipping) then Nu Wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
