Hey.... Any of you guys know where to fix the curb rash (in LA)??? And how much will it most likely cost??? Thanks in advance

 

Expect to shell out about $150 per wheel. If the scoring is deep, they must weld using aluminum alloy rod, and machine the wheel back to round. They then paint or clearcoat the surface back to new. With a good shop, you won't be able to tell the difference. I did one wheel about three years ago, and was extremely pleased with the results. I shouldn't think Socal prices would be much different.

 

wait, on stock wheel or your 21s?!??!!

 

Something tells me you don't want to know the answer to that question...

 

please dont tell me its the 21's i just saw that beautiful LS at the meet

 

yeah i hope not too, that's going to be heart breaking. if it's the jdm wald, then honestly i'd say there is no good way to repair it. i believe the face is machined and then anodized? not sure if it's cleared. but i think it's going to be very hard to match up the finish coz' it's not painted

 

haha... it's on the 21, it was late at night i couldnt see..... but it was pretty bad looking at night,but in the afternoon i cant really tell, i will try to get it fix if i can

 

NOOOO!!! Ben??? I guess its time to use the automated parking now ..
There's a cheap place but I won't recommend it to you...There is a decent shop in El Segundo though.

 

I took my rims to a place in Walnut. Price is very good.

 

Oh cool... will try to find more info about those shops.... Thanks for all the help

 

call these guys they will come to you and repair on the car if its not to bad. they did one of my customers Bentley (owner of La Cave) on 20" with stainless lips looked great. Not sure if they roll into LA but worth a try.http://www.repairmywheels.com/home.htm

 

This is exactly why I park 2-3 feet from the curb. I'd rather take a petty ticket than pay $150 and drive around on a spare for a couple of days

 

just be familiar with your car.. 2-3 feet kinda shows people u don't know how to park imo.

 

ouch ben sorry to hear dat...good luck!

 

I don't do 2-3 feet, but I leave 10 inches. I use the passenger side mirror to see where the curb is. If I can't see it well enough, I'll find somewhere else to park.

Off topic: I saw your car at C&C Saturday. You must live very close to me.
