R3 wheels
So bought my R3 a few months ago and found hidden under the plasti dip was a whole bunch of nasty toad rash. So question is ... Does anyone know if there may be companies that can resurface a R3 wheel and then paint it back to a factory look without the uglyou road rash I'm located in the valley area of California

did you find a place? I'm also looking to restore used r3 wheels in LA. How much are used R3 wheels worth? I'm not sure if I want to restore them when you can buy them online for $400. I already spent $190 per rim... getting them painted will up the cost to $315... thoughts?
