I recently scatched my wheel on a curb. Are there any good places to buy an OEM replacement wheel at less than dealer cost?

Not a good day!

If it is only a scratch, why not have the wheel refinished?

Wheels America does good work. www.fixrim.com but I dont know if they are in your area or not.

109 +tax and they fix, polish and clear coat them? :surprised

Yup.

They are the ones that refinshed my Z06 wheels. I used a coupon and they only charged me $99 a wheel to strip them, enamel bake them, machine the lips and add a clear powder coat! As an added bonus, they do these in 24 hours or less most times!

I'll give them a call. Unfortunately I live in the Columbus, OH and the closest location is Chicago. I'll also check withe the local Corvette clubs to see if they have any recommendations.

Thanks All.

Do they polish them before they clear coat them?

I dont know what proceedure they use for polishing. Mine were enamel baked and the lips were machined before the clear powder coat.

Do they polish them before they clear coat them?

John, Wheels America (at least the one in Chicago) does not polish the wheels; they machine them, which gives a shiny (but not as shiny as polished) satiny appearance
