i am gonna take it out and see if it can be re-built. you think if it was just oil starved it can be re-built?
if it siezed you will probably need a whole new center cartridge. Wheels and housings can be saved.

Who was the guy who had his stock wheel powerder coated for his new Lancer? I have been wanting to buy some new wheels for awhile and I think to fight the urge until next year I am going to powerder coat my BBS's. Not 100% sure what color, but I have 2 in mind.

I know he hasn't posted in here in awhile, figure I could PM him

You could go to rim pro. They're about 15 mins away from my house.

If I'm going to do it I need to bite the bullet and do it soon. I got some big news this weekend. I'll share just not yet.

Have you seen any of their work or prices Josh? You can text me if that's easier.

Ive seen their work and I believe Paul (MyEvoDream) took one of his wheels there to be repaired. My brother is taking his Volk TE-37's there to be repaired and powdercoated but I have no clue how much they'll charge to powercoat your wheels though. You can give them a call, their number is 888-274-6776
