Anyone know of any wheel repair shop in the bay area that'll fix the bent / gauged / messed up rims I bought from this guy? I took the wheels to wheel technique and they said they won't fix them. So any place else other than that?



they are in that condition.

ANY help would be appreciated 'cause as of now I'm kinda stuck with these wheels that I can't use.

I think there are more places in Florida and along the coast that do rim repair. Are you willing to ship them out? I am sure you will find someone that will fix them but you will probably need to ship them out of state. I can ask the dealer where they send the rims to if that is of help. I had an OEM rim fixed once and you couldnt tell.

...I popped a pot hole at about 35 and bent the inside and outside lip of the left front rim. It is a 16" Hart type C three piece wheel. A new rim is $ 385 plus tax, etc. I had it repaired at "Downtown Wheel and Alignment" for $ 88.50. They did an excellent job, with ZERO vibration. They are located in Houston, Texas at 1621 McGowen. Highly recommended!

...I found a place in Oklahoma City that does excellent work on alloy wheels. It's called 'Wheel Connection'. Their phone # is (405) 947-2274 and their address is 530 N. Meridian, Oklahoma City, OK 73107. They are recognized by most insurance companies. They are friendly, fast, and reasonable.Workmanship is excellent.
...I have a place in Dallas that does a good job on wheels... Wheels America 1-800-341-1501. 24 hour turn around, assuming you dont need any Chrome work. and the pice is usually around $90-100

... I had my alloy rims repaired at custom wheel refinishing in North Hollywood CA. They came out awesome, better than the other two.Eric, the manager there hooked me up, for less than 100 bucks a rim.The best place in So. Cal!

Oouch!!!!!!!!!!! How will they fix the Chrome lip? It may be cheaper to cut your losses and replace the rim with new. They look pretty distressed and No matter how good they look when repaired, You know that they have been comprimized. I would hate to have the car or your health damaged over saving a few bucks on these rims. Are they hard to come by?

looks like a cast wheel... i do not think it is repairable with that degree of damages.

Mike,

Thanks for posting!!! I am going to have my one MOMO fixed and was about to look for a place. For the OP, you will be fine with a fix, I have seen worse damage come out looking like new. Our rims are basically similar in damage.

so any places in BAY AREA??? thanx for the info for IL. If I live there then I shall go to those places. however, I need something local. I bought these used from guy at club lexus. i didn't think someone from this forum would jack me over but I guess that seems to be the case. I have learned my lesson and will be more careful next time. But i wanna get it fixed so that maybe I can even use it.

Wolverine thanx for the info for that store in walnut creek. I will stop by there.

ANY place else? thanx ya'll for the input/help that you're givin out.

your welcome! only 2 of those places are in IL. The rest are all over but looks like you may need to ship them out. read thru all the info as one of the places said CA, unless its old info. If the NSX guys/gals are sending to these places they must be good in my books. I only did this once but the dealer sent it out of state and it took a few weeks.

Welcome Brian! Let me know who you use and how it goes. Keystone is good and was a client where i worked a few years ago. Been inside the factory also. Not sure about the other place. Keystone was in Chicago and the other place i think is in Elk Grove.

You can try wheels america, I've had rims repaired there. They came out fine just that I didn't feel the color matching was up to my satisfaction, they do have liftetime warranty so I could complain but I didn't bother. I need my rims. Anyway check em out.
