Hey guys I have a set of bronze 17 inch volk's. Unforunatley they have a few chips on the polished lip and on the stickers. I know I can find a set of new stickers on ebay, but what are my options on restoring these rims to brand new? Is it possible to polish a new lip on, my friend just had his Volk's painted Tein Green on his integra...supposed to be a new JDM look thing. But what can i do? Thanks.

I didnt mean the silver lip, its like a shining/polished bronze lip and then dirty bronze on the spokes. Do body shops restore rims to brand new? If so, about how much is it? Anyone know a good place to goto in Houston, TX?

If you're getting the lip polished, it's going to be silver.

If you want the lip a different color, you'd have to get it powdercoated.

I could be wrong though...I'm not a wheel paint guru.

I dont know a damn thing about wheel painting that is why im asking too...

Ok I love the bronze color and dont want to loose it. The wheels supposedly were powdercoated from factory and i have read in some places it also has a "long lasting" clear coat. I just want them re done soon to look brand new, and get rid of all the scratches and chips on the lip specifically.

There is a site that is selling a new set of volks that come green, I cant remember the site but they were about 1840$ I think. Just wait a year, and it will be the new fad...

Back to the topic: so does anyone know any more information about powdercoating wheels and good shops in houston, TX?
