No thanks, I specifically want the early GTI rims. I don't care if I get them
new or refinished, but I have my mind set on this specific model.

That sure sounds good to me, I would love to find a place that charged $100 each
and gave 1 week turnaround! Wheels of America has a shop out on Long Island that
I may call if can't find anyone closer.

Since I sent my earlier message I found 7 places that do refinishing, none that
are local to me, with the lowest advertised price @ $125.00 each. See:
