I paid $75 per wheel and I elected to paint and clear myself. There are a few excellent machinists on this forum that can explain the cutting procedure way better than me. The cutting procedure used can make a difference in the finish and this is where I'm not an expert. My guy looked at the wheel and determined how it was cut originally and duplicated it. They came out excellent and " new".

Did he take an equal amount of material off the opposite side of the wheel to help maintain the balance?

It would concern me if he didn't because that would leave wheel weights to make up the discrepancy.
