What options have people taken here to refinish Blast wheels? My wheels have lost their shine, and worse yet, I used a too aggressive cleaner and that dulled them and put a couple of spots on them. What about powder coating them, chroming them, or sending them to a professional polisher and refinisher?

Yes all that has been done to them - but most polishers won't touch them because they tend to mess up the machine - lol
Ride em, mine are grey, slowly going to flat black - even with a regular break cleaner rub down - lol

The difficulty with these wheels is that rough finish and their convoluted shape.

Yeah - black would have been a much better color for these wheels.

My wife's Blast wheels look horrible but she doesn't seem to care much as long as it runs...lol.

My M2 wheels are black and look good. I just might clean hers up and try painting them. Maybe polish the outer lip.

Powder coated mine black. One of my best mods ever.

How much did the powder coating cost you?
