Interested in a trade for 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 Black Z06 Wheels with ****** tires? No curb rash, non machine style with rivets?

If I can get someone to throw a set of cheap-o's on my car until I get back, possibly. Need to look into repairing the curb rash first.

Most wheel refinishing companies charge about $125.00 per wheel to remove the curb rash and repaint.

I haven't a clue how much it would cost. Research didn't show much since magnesium wheels are rare and curb rashed ones are rarer. I can take pics of the others when I get home from work tonight. No trades cash only

You can call a GM dealer and find out. I seem to remember hearing $250-300 per wheel to get them refinished, and I don't know if that includes repairing rash. You cannot sandblast mag wheels, either.

OP if I'm out of line I'll delete this, just throwing it out there. For these wheels the price is a very good deal.

thats a fair offer. i was going to offer 200 today till i saw your post. the repairs are not going to be cheap. the damage is just not curb rash.
