I have had two sets done by Glenn's Wheel Polishing in Tampa Bay Florida. One full set of 90 ZR-1s and one full set of 89 ZR-1 wheels; both came out great. To be honest I lost 2 points on my 90 wheels at Nationals last year for what they claimed as minor scratches, given the wheels had mfg dates stamped in them after the car was built I decided not to fight the issue. These wheels would have easily been delivered by the factory.

I was looking at someone closer. I called them but they never returned my calls. I really need to send one wheel at a time because of cost. Roy

Roy, Regardless of where you go I would highly recommend doing all of them at the same time. There can always be variation of paint color, clear thickness, etc. so if they all get done at once they will match much closer. Not cheap but less than new wheels. Joel

They made the pilots pay for the fuel? No wonder you retired! |

Talked to Tom Barr who is the 84-96 NCRS Guru and he recommended a place called Nu Wheel out in Tucson, AZ. He highly recommended them so I sent them the wheels. We'll see how they turn out.

I had a set of 1984 RX-7 wheels redone by Transwheel:
http://www.wheelbuyer.com/main.aspx?...nig0yxfe0pkm2z Their Williamsport, MD location was minutes from my home. Excellent work and reasonable price (although that was 20 years ago). |

I got the wheels back and they look great! Dropped them off at the shop that I use to remount and balance the wheels and they will be ready for the NCRS.

Congrats! I know zilch about NCRS. So do they knock off points if refinished and not original, and do they check that closely or owners have to disclose everything reconditioned or replaced? Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
