Default Aluminum Wheel Restoration

Recently I purchased a 1999 Jeep Wrangler, with aftermarket black rims
that I did not care for, so I swapped them for some factory aluminum
wheels, that were pretty well oxidized. I tried every aftermarket to
get them cleaned up with little success. I stumbled across a mobile
service here in West Michigan, that comes to your location &
refurbishes & restores the wheels to like new condition. If you are
located in West Michigan, I can hook you up with this service. It
sure beats having to invest in new wheels.

You were indeed fortuate, but you still have the expense to have tires
put on those wheels & balanced which must be calculated into the
equation as well.

Not necessarily. I don't know what this service may cost but I bought a
set of factory jeep take-offs from ebay, in spotless condition, for $75
delivered.
