What would it cost to get a set of 15x5 wheels professionally cleaned and repaired. There's a set in the classifieds I'm looking at, but this worries me:

The chip doesn't bother me, but the rest of the wear and tear does. What would it cost to fix it? The wheels, BTW, are American Racing 4-spokes. I've been debating getting them polished completely.

BTW, I'm interested in a set of these in good shape. THe market price seems to be around $400.

A set of BBS wheels in the LA area is about $400 restoration cost. The Rule of Thumb seems to be roughly double the cost of your wheel. Therefore; you just double the cost of your initial purchase.

What about stripping and polishing?

I was referring to a complete restoration. But you understand that badly damaged wheels could add to the cost.
