Company to refinish BBS Wheels

Does anyone know of a company that can refinish BBS RS wheels.

Would prefer someone in the east coast.

Thanks

Is Reed equipped to deal with the torque-to-yield bolts specified on the later BBS wheels? I've got a set of beautiful 17" 2 piece BBS wheels I was considering getting redone in a different finish. Would love to give the business to Al Reed.

Awesome... I've been toying with the idea of doing the same thing to mine... are those powdercoated? Do you have a picture of them on your car?

another picture at speed this time...



On a side note - not sure Al likes doing BBS wheels - but yes, he has all the proper torque bolts, hardware etc... I had the wheel inners powercoated (to not show brake dust) and the rims clearcoated. I use these for my track tires... They are lighter by ~2 lbs than my like sized fuchs...

Do a search for "70fasty" he is a wheel refinisher in Tampa Fl. He does excellent work and a good guy.

I'll vouch for '70fasty he does excellent work although I have just seen his Fuchs and was not aware he does BBS wheels.
