And if they cheat their way, they will chrome plate it which will flake off after a few moments of ownership. The reason why is that I had Volk and SSR wheels that I attempted to repair on professional shops who actually do wheel repair. We did my Volk first which they were right, it came out brushed and not smooth and shiny. I found out if you are willing to pony up extra cash, you can have Work Wheels re-barrel them for a nice price which gives you more options: you can go with any offset, do step lip or reverse lip, as well as adonized lip. Good luck!
So Work Wheels do repair, and add off set?

Thanks for the polish tip, yea when I spoke to Rimspec. They said it had to be chromed. I'll talk to them this week and see if they do polish. If they can't guarantee me. I'll look into Work, may even call Ray wheels see what my options are. After all I'm already paying $400 a wheel using rimspec.
