I spoke with Prince Wheel Services in North Carolina and they agreed to give us group pricing to refurbish factory original 18” e39 M5 wheels in the shadow chrome finish, if the following criteria are met.
Guidelines:
1) Forum members commit to and pay for refinishing of at least 4 sets of factory rims (i.e. 16 rims)
2) Prince Wheels receives the rims around the same time so they can refinish them as a batch – I am aiming to ship the rims out ASAP and have the rims back in my hands by end of February. Prince Wheels will catalog the rims they receive to ensure owners get the same rims they delivered.
3) Committed members allow Prince Wheels at least 2 weeks to complete the work, given the number of rims they will have to refinish as part of this group pricing
4) Committed members pay for the shipping to and from Prince Wheels. Refinished wheels will be shipped back to owners in INDIVIDUAL boxes – Prince Wheels will not put more than one rim in a box, to ensure the finish does not get damaged.
5) Any bends in the rims will be fixed at an additional cost to the owner, and Prince Wheels will discuss it with the owner before starting the repair work.
6) Prince Wheels is doing us a favor, so let’s please be as courteous and reasonable with them as possible (i.e. ship rims when you say you will, pay timely, don’t inundate them with calls)
7) I have no affiliation with Prince Wheels. I only read the reviews on this M5Board and want to have my rims refinished. All payments will go directly to Prince Wheels. No good deed goes unpunished, so let’s see how this ends up
Pricing:
1) Group pricing to refinish factory 18” e39 M5 wheels in shadow chrome finish is: $145 per wheel. If we get way more than 16 wheels committed, I will call Prince Wheels to see if they can lower the price even more. They were open to that.
2) Straightening bent wheels is at least $55 per wheel
Next Steps:
1) Please post here if you are committed, how many rims, and if you can ship out the rims in the next 2 weeks.
2) Once we get enough commitment, I can gather your names via PM and send the info to Prince Wheels.
3) Please keep this thread clean and research the reviews others have posted regarding Prince Wheels and their Shadow Chrome refinishing services.
Thanks
