Recommendations of who I should get to repaint my new wheels
I just got the new 17" Year One "N90" wheels for my Malibu. I want to have them refinished to match the '80/'81 Z28 Gold N90s. I would like to have Wheel Collision Center do the work, but they tell me they don't pick up/deliver to anyone other than service companies. Anyone have any other recommendations?

Can you find a local place that deals with Wheel Collision where you could make a deal to have the wheels picked up/dropped off for a nominal fee? A body shop, dealer, or wheel/tire outlet maybe ?

That's the problem. All the local places deal with USA Wheels in Fairfield. It's not that I don't trust them, Wheel Collison has a better warranty & I know the quality of their work. USA's stuff looks OK, but they mostly deal with wreck repair guys & a LOT of the "DUB" crowd. I'm just not too sure I'll get exactly what I want. Wheel Collision even knows the proper OEM color code I want.

I'm in Denville, Morris County. I'm most likely dropping them off. It's only around 1-1/4 hours each way. Beats $320.00 UPS...

Sorry this is a bit off-topic but how are wheels fit/finish wise from Year One? May be getting a set for our MCSS but I haven't seen many people talk about the quality of them.

They're great. The machining is really nice, period style. Not overly polished, not too heavily grooved. The paint is great. The painted areas on the OEM wheels has a kind of pebble grain, whereas the YO wheels are smooth in the same area.
