FS VA: R91 Bullets - choose your color

I picked these up to use, but have decided on something else. Two of the wheels had some curb rash (quite a bit actually, none very deep..just surface defects)...I had the paint beadblasted down to the epoxy primer, filled the rash with aluminum epoxy (same as a professional wheel shop would use to repair your wheels), sanded back smooth and will use a self-etching primer and then topcoat in the buyer's choice of color: white, silver, graphite, satin black or bronze. I can also spray these in custom colors, but the cost would depend on what you want and what the supplies cost.

Asking $500 for the set, plus shipping. These are probably the lightest OEM 17" out there, are easy to clean and look awesome, second only to the OEM 2pc wheels. I'll be happy to send pics prior to painting to a prospective buyer....I'm finishing them up now (two down, two to go). Pic prior to stripping and refinishing.

these have been painted and mounted with 205/45/17 Falken ZIEX 912's...performance all-season. If someone is interested, I'll sell the mounted set for $700+ shipping....tires have maybe 200 miles on them as I work from home and were mounted just after Thanksgiving.

How much do you charge to refinish wheels for other people?

depends on what it is, how bad the rash is and how quick you need them. sandblasting alone is $100, so it would a couple hundred for sure.
