    Have a set of 348/355 Challenge wheels I'd like to get stripped and redone in argento nurburgring. Anyone have any local suggestions or is it best to send them to someone like Braden, etc?

    Seattle-ish area best case, but would also drive them to Portland or Vancouver, BC if needed.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I’ve had some MOMO’s and BBS wheels repaired at skips wheelwerks in Beaverton. I’m not sure of what all he does but he’s very nice and a great little shop that’s a bit hard to find! Maybe give him a call.

    Bumping this thread.......
    Any new suggestions for alloy wheel refinishers in the Seattle area? Alloy (aluminum?) not magnesium.
    Too many times ferry onloading/unloading, those diamond-plate metal curbs come right out of nowhere!
    Front rims getting toasted (wife driving of course, not me!) :cool:

    All I can add is that if you can't find anyone locally that you trust, shipping wheels is not that difficult or expensive all things considered. I've done it before with success.

    What did they charge for the curb rash on the Levante?

    I think it was around 250 and the wheel has 3 different finishes on it. Done as new.
