18" Sport Design wheel refurb
 
I've been wanting to have the outer edge of my wheels refurbished for quite some time. All 4 had been delaminating and blistering. I considered tracking down a set of Sport Techno's, but they're hard to come by and not cheap! I'm glad I went this route instead. Thought I would post this in case anyone needs a recommendation- Metro Wheels in Atlanta did an outstanding job, communicated with me several times, and took great care of the car while they had it- stored it covered on a lift indoors, something they did on their own.

Just curious... What did it cost you per wheel? I've been quoted $75 a piece to refurbish mine.

The refurb'd wheel looks great! I have the same design wheels on my 996.

For reference, I paid $100 per wheel to have my Boxster wheels re-finished and that included pickup and delivery.

Thanks guys- These are one of my favorite designs as well, but man are they a pain to clean!

I was quoted as low as $50 and as high as $150. I ended up paying $120 per wheel, which while on the high side I felt like the end result and experience was worth it.
