    I just had a purchased set of Avus Snowflakes redone and they turned out awesome. I love these wheels!

    can't go wrong! Do you have 'before' pics of the wheels?

    Here's the "before" pic of one of the wheels. Yikes. Now you can see why I wanted them trued up and refinished!

    $60 for the purchase and refinish of each wheel. A bit steep considering I did all at once but still cheaper than a brand-new non-original set would have been. To met it was a small price to pay to keep it original.
