I'd say you've done well - they will be done in a "controlled" environment by someone that should have the preparation process pretty much under control. Should be easy to duplicate if the need arises. I mentioned some time ago might be less could be more, the visit did you well. Many things control the price in a production environment, the work could be slow and most times work is work. Keeps production people busy. You didn't have any "collision" damage that needed addressed which normally an "off the street" wheel needs.

If you're happy with their work and establish a relationship they might be able to accommodate with maybe rotor refinishing etc.

Have you gathered all of your fasteners yet for reassembly?

I believe you've made the best choice and I'd like to think all "goes well"!!!

I was planning on reusing what I have. From stuff I have read online it seems to be mixed results.

I thought you had one wheel that was a "no match"!

Correct, I have not find anything yet.. Stuff on eBay is $60 per wheel
