Most shops aren't going to touch a custom rim like that, going to be a very specialized service.

Let me do some checking...

I talk to Steve today at tf the owner he said he going to relope the wheel for 350 so looks like I'll be sending them to him for a new lip err a couple of weeks with out the car I figure that's the best way to fixs it
But now I'm think power coating the middle of the rims black. What u guys thinks? I might wait till winter here a pic of the car

While at True Forged, have them do them. 2 birds, one stone.

Plasti-dip them instead and you can see if you like it before doing it.

+1 i did that to my old V6 wheels to see if i liked them in black before i bought new wheels
