Hi all, Just snagged meself 4 14" Volkswagen alloys at the junkyard for $15/ea. I think I was pretty lucky. Only thing is that two of them are a bit thrashed and in need of paint (powder coat). Were these originally powder coated?? What is the finish that is deteriorating made of then?? Seems like some clear coat that is peeling and turning yellow/buttery. Any recommendations for shops who do this in Southern California (cruised around nicely in a trusty old wife beater in the junkyard today, for all you poor snow covered folks out there...)??? Checked the archives already. How much should I expect to be paying?? And where can I get the (missing) center caps?? TIA Matthias
