khris.. past experiences leads me to suggest a replacement instead..

refinishing and repair are typically not cost effective..

id only suggest it on a wheel thats difficult to replace..

Well these wheels are the O.Z mitulars 5 star 3 peice and they are hard to find, that been siad I got 6 rims all together, The rear's are mint no damage, but the other 4 front rims which size is 17x8.5 and 17x9 , The 17x8.5-1 wheel have a slight curb damage on it and clear is peeling from the lip,the other 17x8.5 lip is peeling too. Now the 17x9 which I think want to use both lip lip is peeling {clear coat} and next to the lug bolts they both have some paint chip off from it, nothing major, I think it's noticeable when u only get very close to the rims. I really don't think it will cost that much to repair because of the minor damage I just need to show the shop what I have so they quote me a price. Thanks, khris
