SS wheels

how much do they cost new?

and how much are we looking at to get the re-finished or buffed to get out scratches and curb rash?

thanks in advance

Refinishing locally is 100-150 per wheel. Or you can spend 50 total to paint them yourself, but be prepared for regular touchups.

the ss rims are chrome correct? or are they just highly polished?

Call Wheel Wizards in Hamilton, Skyline26, they did a great job cleaning up and buffing out my Boyd's and a set of Z 28 rims a few years back
