All,
I introduced my right rear wheel to a curb this morning on my way to work. Total bonehead move as I tucked into a right corner too close and just touched curbing enough to scrape the rim edge. The damage isn't horrific - just a bunch of very shallow scratching on about 90 degrees of the wheel.
Does anyone have experience with wheel repair companies and/or have suggestions as to who I could get to repair the aluminum wheel edge?

Thanks,
CB

 

Contact Keith Lawlor (awrsofarizona@cox.net) of Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, a mobile service. He refinished all four of my JDM BBS's at his shop. A simple repair like yours can probably be done on-site while you wait. Excellent repair job and service--the wheels look brand new.

Thanks! I contacted AWRS. Good thing the S isn't a daily driver any longer. AWRS's CNC machine is down for a while so I can't set up an appointment for a few days. The price sounds reasonable at $125 per wheel. I'll go with them.

 

Can they repair painted wheels? or just alloy..

Give Keith a call. I'm sure they can do just about anything wheel related. You'll probably get Keith's message service, but he's really good about calling back, at least he was with me.

 

Well... I was asked if they were painted, etc. I get the impression they do painted stuff too, but not sure. I called the number provided above and talked to a real person!

Okay, okay... guess my wheels could use his service too...

Quit making fun of me, guys!
