Default Polish rims lips? Possible?

If rims that do not have a polished/chrome lip,
is it possible to polish/chrome them out?

Sorry for the ehh question, just curious.
If so, I know depending on the shop,
price range?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it's possible. A lot of shops who fix bent wheels polish wheels. Off the top of my head, I think polish can range from $75-$150 per wheel. Also depends on how much prep needs to be done, etc. It's also more to have it clear-coated. Chroming is even more I'm sure. I haven't really looked into it in awhile, sorry i couldn't be more helpful....

at least i know it's possible and a price range.

i'm thinking about getting some Gram Lights
and usually they don't come with a polished lip.

thanks again!

and do you think it would be harder/easier,
more expensive/less expensive if the rims
were powdercoated?

if not, that's cool.

thanks again.

If you want the gram lights a certain way, order them the way you like.

I see volks cost 35 a wheel to change

I'd buy the exact wheel in the right color and not screw with someone touching them other then an authorized dealer.

my buddy bought a set of 17" Konigs off of ebay for 100 bucks shipped. The were primered. I had my buddys wheel shop powercoat them black and polish the lips. Normal price for that was 650 bucks.
