Shop Help

Hey Guys,

I have two questions hoping someone in this forum can help.

1.) I would like to get my dads wheels refinished, they have pretty bad curb rash and some chips in the finish. Does anyone know of a good spot in new york city?

2.) Also I saw on youtube a couple of shops installing viper remote starts on there f15's. Unfortunately those shops are not located in NYC, does anyone know or have they installed a remote start in NYC from a good shop that knows what they're doing in a BMW?

Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

Which borough? If you don’t mind driving out to Freeport, LI Check out Long Island Rim.

in queens, yeah dont mind at all. Funny thing is I believe I called them already loll, they quoted me at $150 a rim, reasonable, but was hoping maybe $125 a rim. But there reviews are great, and so I may just end up going with them.

Thanks for your help and suggestion!!!!

The brooklyn guys didnt pick up, but the limitless guys seem reasonable about $500 for all four which is what i was looking at. Have you been to Limitless before? They have great reviews just wanted to see if you had first hand experience.

Thanks again for the suggestions!!

Yes been to limitless, great guys. When I came to them with what I though was an issue with my control arm, one of the workers drove around with me for a few miles to try and diagnose the problem. Ended up being nothing. He could’ve simply took my car in and “replaced” a part. They are honest and have a great following on IG and car community.

Jimmy’s was asking about $150 for repair/ powder coat per wheel.
