(Machine, Paint and Clearcoat)What do you guys think?...is that a fair price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fair bit of labour involved.I've seen sets of 4 on eBay for less than a grand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been quoted around $170 a wheel + a little more for one wheel as it needs to be welded. Seems like a fair price but then again once you add it all up you come close to a new set of rims.

Brand new set was $2k or something way above what I'd want to pay even considering cash back from selling off old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
