Default Refinish or buy new

I have the Silverado allow 20s on my pile and one of them has started peeling really bad. At this point it seems as if it is just the clear coat, but some of the paint on the inside of the wheel has been affected too. So here lies my question? Should I pay a local company to refinish/resurface the wheel? Continue searching for 1 nicely used wheel? or purchase an aftermarket?

The refinish/resurface will cost around $125 - $150. I can not find any one person selling just 1 wheel that isn't beat to hell, and aftermarket scares me for one reason, What if the paint doesn't match!

I have also considered painting all of them in the TBSS comp gray...

Need opinions

Which 20 is it? Maybe these guys have what you need? I bought some vette wheels for my old sonoma off here...

Buy a full set and use one sell the other extra one to the guy in the texas section that is looking for one for his sisters truck.

Keep another as a matching spare and see if anyone needs the last one. Or sell two as a pair, maybe someone will buy them to have them widened.

Kind of a hassle though

Your cheapest route would be to just get your wheel refinished.
