Default Best JDM/VIP wheel/rim reconditioning shops? Please post!

Can any of the wheel/rim experts post where they take their used but rare and hard to get JDM/VIP wheel treasures for reconditioning and to make them looks almost as good as new? What is reconditioning, and what should one ask a shop in order to judge if they are good ones? The only way I know is to trust a fellow scion owner who does frequent rim reconditioning for other members and can highly recommend. Anyone else have bad/good experiences or good advice vs buying brand new rims from Japan? Thanks in advance.

This is a very good idea for a topic. Everyone should share their knowledge to help other avoid shady businesses. Wish I had thought of it. lol

If someone is really that concerned about sending an expensive wheel to have it repaired/recond send me a PM and I can give you a guy to send them too. His family owns one of the oldest wheel repair shops in our state and Ive watched them fix some amazingly screwed up stuff.

I (JDMPalace) can get SSR and Weds wheels, and almost about anything from J-Town as long as it can be shipped, and we have our own polishing and wheel repair facility, and main Business is USED parts and JDM clips !!
