I started the link that Kent put up... there were before and after pictures. but something is wrong with the server.

the guy that did my rims was Todd owner of ALLOY WHEEL REPAIR SPECIALISTS INC. he has a trailer he works out off. he does only cosmetic repairs. If it's bent you'll have to bring it to Freddy's, but like said above, he he doesn't paint. When you talk to hime he will say he doesn't polish nor paint.

Todd did a pretty good job. But he is booked.

If the server doesn't go back up tomorrow, i'll repost the pictures if i can find them.

right on, i wetsanded it and it pretty much came out, still some stain tho. i might try the ball thingy.


You think i can pound out a minor dent in a rim with a mallet or something? it can still hold air.

heres a PIC
