I want to buy OEM/Factory/Refurbished/Refinished wheels. Anyone successfully purchased the same?

We got them all the time at the body shop I worked at. Mostly they looked like new rims but sometimes there would be small defects.

I've got the stock 15x7 rim 5x4.5 bolt spacing that I'd trade for 15x10 5x4.5 rims. Oh, they're what my 99 Cherokee is sitting on now. I want to run 31x10.5/15 treadwright tires.

Thanks all!

I've ordered (cost half-down) with a 2-week turn-a-around from these folks:

A 3-hour drive for me... Hopefully a productive day!

NOS/OEM center-caps & Gorilla life-time lug-nuts.

New there was a few places like this, was just trying to find them to share... I couldn't remember this place's name for hell, but did remember they were in PA.. Might have to trade my girl's LJ rims in for a set of Rubicon MOAB's once I get her some new rims... :smiley-scared003:

Here's a photo of one of my new re-manufactured rims just before being boxed and shipped today!

I did ask for a photo of all four... But they were all wrapped/packaged to ship. Although they did unpack this one for me. I was mostly looking that the shading was done in the centers/letters. Seems so!

Would seem that they did a good job on their remanufacturing process.. I think it's cool though that they have a good enough customer service that they did take a picture of at least one of them for you though... Look forward to seeing how they finish up the rebuild!!

Show her a new can of polish... Take the 2-hour drive to Bath PA for the new rims... Then show her the used can of polish... Four hours of hard work... But look hunny how nice they look! :D:p:D
