SoCal L.A. complete wheel restoration w/custom finishes?

[OrangeA4]

Looking for recommendations and examples of complete wheel restoration service in So Cal.
Not bent, not cracked, not just curb scuffs, but total restoration of peeled and oxidized 2 piece BBS rs.
I want to restore the brushed or polished barrels and custom paint the faces. Anyone?

Son Tran is the man, you can't go wrong. He is a magician, I've taken my wheels there as well.

Just a heads up, he does not do mobile wheel repairs anymore, so you have to drop your car off at his shop.
I am planning on taking my car there from all the reviews I have read here.

Send a PM to the user "krew53". I think he just had some major work done on his 3 piece wheels...

That is correct, he has his own shop now. Just drop it off and come back and it will look OEM again.

I recommend:

son-wheel touch up work
vr wheels- complete refinishes

[krew53]

Def Son for touch up work.. Not sure if he does full refinishing though.

I have used Wheel Concepts in Newbury Park (Ventura County).. They have always done an awesome job when I needed repairs or refinishing.

Update, out of laziness and also a recommendation, (and also I have taken a wheel there in the past a loooooong time ago)
I took the wheels to Mike at Tru-Wheel. Here is a before and after ;)
Pretty much how I wanted them.

I might have played around with a differnt color somewhere else, but Played it safe and also was lucky to see a similar 3 piece wheel he had just finished that looked so good, I said, "just do that" to make it easier on everyone, and I think that was a smart play because they look awesome in person.

This is a pic of the worst wheel. The barrel was not curbed as much as it was corroded and salts got under the clear. (east coast wheels)
The centers were scufffed and some were peeling in spots.

He pulled them apart, repainted the centers anthracite, and polished the lips. He also cleaned the hell out of them and resprayed the barrels too, which I did not ask him to do. They look really really clean. The color is slightly darker than Audi's Anthracite color. You can see the difference in the center cap. He could do that color or any other code too, but I already have another set on my avant with the "titanium" anthracite finish, so I went with this slightly blue-er and darker color. Looks so good in sunlight.
I saw another set there that had the same color but with a larger flake and a more glossy clear on a set of Passat wheels. So you can mix and match finishes if you like.

Son doesnt do complete refinishing. He only does wheel repair and touch ups. Ive had him fix so many of my wheels and friends wheels that i lost count. Every single time i was impressed more than the last.

Just recently was at Son's shop and saw him doing an M3 refinishing all 4 wheels gloss black from standard silver. He may be doing more these days, worth checking with him if anyone is considering it.

I had him refinish my 20" AG M580 with curb rash prior to selling them and he perfectly matched a 3-step bespoke finish. The guy is a master. Can't recommend him highly enough.

He is currently painting a spoiler for my new car (BMW, sorry), so that kind of work or front lips painting body color or whatever, he may also do.

Centers look good. Lips look like they could use a little more love and you missed the bolts. Get new bolts and you'll be set.

but really though you all need to check out vr wheels. its a costco of rare wheels. they have shipping containers every 2 months from overseas just filled to the brim with rare wheels. they are the mecca for wheels and refinishing. they take a while but the quality is un matched.

Check out Ajax Welding in the valley. Awesome powdercoat shop. had 5 of my wheels and 25 bolts done there and haven't looked back
