Refurbished Factory Wheels

I wanted to post this up to all of you that may need a wheel replaced because of cracks, scratches, etc.
I have sent some wheels out and the them refurbished to like new condition. Compaired to the price of a new wheel this may be a good way to get that wheel replaced and still have money for a stage kit or some other goodie your thinking about.

I have both the Gun metal finish and Polished finish in stock.

CED is one of the best companies to purchase items for our cars from. I got my stage 2 and my gmpp exhaust from them and it came in less than a week. These are good people that will help you the right way.

Right now we only have the 18" wheels in stock.

Yes they can be refurbished, but shipping back and forth to Canada would not be cost effective. I would suggest finding a wheel vendor up there for the repairs. PM me if you need some help finding one.

Hi Crate Engine Depot,

Do you have a distributor in Canada that could get us tax free prices? I would really like to get the exhaust now, but the problem is that I will be paying over 100$ in taxes.

Let me know.

Gabriel

Hey Tom, this is a fabulous idea. I just happen to have a set of 17's, polished, sitting in my garage that I can't get rid off.

I don't suppose you would like to purchase a set of wheels for cheap to refurbish and sell back to the css.net populace?? I saw that someone asked for 17'' polished, that's why I'm throwin this out there.

PM me or somethin if you are interested.

Pretend they have directional tires (since you can't rotate them side to side) and just keep them on the same side.

Couldn't sleep at night, huh? I know the feeling.

I'd run polished on one side and gunmetal on the other just to eff with people's minds.

Could I get any kind of deal if I buy 2 polished and send you my curbed rims? (not bent just scuffed a bit)

I desperately need 2 polished 18's.
