Any good Fuchs repair shop in Western Canada?

Hi folks,

I’ve given up on trying to restore my Fuchs myself, can anyone recommend a professional wheel repair shop in Western Canada?

Thanks,

Alex

Nu Brite in Port Kells did mine, restored to original 89 conditions. They did great with anodized / black centers.

Panther Precision did a nice job with mine. they sub out the anodizing. good people to deal with.
Greens does impressive work - they use a satin clear coat, rather than re-anodizing. good people to deal with, as well.
i have not dealt with Nu Brite - sounds like something worth looking into.

Nu Brite definitely sends them out for anodizing the whole process was a few weeks or so. I also had them refinish one of the lobster claws on a bmw m550i that has all sorts of shades, and it turned out very well. I've used them all around town and find them (Nu Brite) to be the most careful. My Fuchs were not bent but had been blacked out by greens at the previous owners request.

Yeah, I’m good with that. I’ll be going with a high gloss clear coat.
