Default Apollo wheels

So I have a BRG with tan top,cashmere interior and Apollos wheels. Of course with 111000 on the odometer it's been driven. Passanger side wheels are scuffed. Been looking for at least one,rear of course,wheel and I can't seem to find them. Not looking for new just really good used. Are they rare? Did a search and they are only a 2 year option. To me they are a great looking wheel and really make the car.

Yes, they are rare. Scour ebay and craigslist, eventually one might pop up.

Been all over eBay and CL nothing. So I'm thinking there must be a company that can fix them.

The big car dealerships will be your best source of finding the repair sites near you.

Apollo wheels are awesome. The curves in them go so well with the car's lines. I have considered polishing just the face of mine. Might buy a spare to test it out someday.

I found a couple rears. I bet I could teach a class on finding parts for our Jags on ebay.

There are many, many wheel repair facilities in every city and quite a few mobile service repair vans as well. The mobile ones will come to you and have all of the "tools" needed with them to do the work at your site. Cost of repairing a wheel should be between $100-150/wheel and that will include repairing missing chunks and respraying. You don't need to buy another wheel, it will be as good as new.

Thanks I'm going to check that out. Come to my house and fix it on the spot for around $150 bucks. Sweet.

I have Apollos that were chromed and are now flaking. Wish I could get the chrome removed and have them polished or painted. No one in Hawaii will do it and it's to expensive to ship them to the mainland.

Really. You can't find anyone to strip the chrome and refinish. Is there any curb damage?

Minor curb rash that would need to be fixed. I live on Maui, services like this are very limited.

Bummer. I have not looked into it yet but from what I've heard it should be easy for me. Do what you can cause Apollo wheels look amazing on our XK8s
