I have a set of 18 inch roja formula 5's with the polished lip. I was driving through a drive-thru today and I curbed my BADLY against the curb. Basically, the whole lip is scratched all the way around. I was in shock . Anyone know how much would it be to repair it?

 

buy a new one, those aren't too expensive of wheels.

 

Go get them repaired. I curbed the polished lip on my Volk GTN's pretty bad and it came back good as new.

 

I recently got my curbed wheel refinshed at New England Wheels for $140...you might be able to find cheaper where you live.

 

cheap wheels......!!!

buy a new one its not worth getting repaired trust me.

 

pics?

 

About $150 to fix.

 

It is not hard to fix your self
Here is a wheel I fixed up for a friend





After the repair










A curbed wheel is not to bad...First dismount the tire, then use a few grades of metal files to take off the rough stuff. Be sure to work evenly around the wheel. Next you can use a high speed air tool and some 3M discs to clean it up the rest of the way. If the finish on the wheel is a high polish, you can finish off by hand or use a fine 3M disc. Use a good metal polish to do the final touches.

 

I bought them for $2K w/ tires..Did I get ripped off then? I also powdercoated them black. I'm thinkin about powdercoating them gold and painting my brake calipers from red to black. Does anyone know how to re-paint brake calipers?

 

no, 2K with tires sounds about right. I didn't mean to be rude, the comments were just coming from someone who had wheels on his previous car that cost about that per wheel.

no harm meant.
