Front Wheel problem
 
Hello, pardon me if this has already been covered. I have a 01S in Black with OEM 18 inch wheels. The front wheels are the worst thing on my pride and joy Boxster. The edges of the spokes or "blades" look like the finish is just worn off. The rest of the wheels look fine and the rears are great. I was curious if anyone refinish these wheels or just try to find two used wheels and replace ?

Thanks in advance
Dwight

There are many options for refinishing your wheels - paint, plasti-dip, powder coating, DIY, get a pro to do it - and all have been discussed practically to death in dozens of threads here. I would suggest you do a search and spend a few hours reading and looking at the pictures to help you decide on the approach you would like to take.

Local body shop charged me $125 each to pull them and repaint. Had the rears done from curb hits. Came back new.

There will come a day, a glorious day, when every possible topic has been thoroughly covered - the board will be locked from further postings and just a huge search button will greet you on the landing page! :)

Reminds me of this vsauce video, I love this guys.
