there is a place called wheel magic in stockton californa,. Pretty good work, or you could send them to caps in frenso California. Caps is cheaper, but i have never sent rims to them.,

can these shops repair rims? like major rash and small bends?

Boost_Junkie · 06-14-2005

ahhhaha rach, well ill be looking for your pics on mwir...i am going to post my pics!! look for another thread in this forum!!!

depends on the extent of damage done to the wheels, but most of these places should be able to make it look decent

manthatguysfast · 06-14-2005

how much does it cost?? i think i heard somewhere that its usually about 60 a rim...is that right???

ButterflieWRX · 06-14-2005

I powdercoated my rims because of winter-related pitting along my polished lip. $60 a rim is not expensive for repair at all!! I'd called a few places (Wheels America was one I think) and was quoted between $550 and $700 to fix JUST the pitting on all 4 of my rims (so between about 135 and 175 PER RIM!). I debated buying new ones but powdercoating was way cheaper.

I picked my rims up this afternoon and they're HOT!! Rich @ P&L took pics and I'm waiting for him to send 'em to me... I'll post when he does (here, MWIR, ClubWRX, etc. etc. etc., LOL!). My price (before the discount they gave me) was $240 + $60 for mounting and balancing. The before discount total was $300. Not bad, and now I've got some sweet(er) custom rims

thats about on average for just powdercoating...most good places charge between 75-100per wheel to powdercoat and that doesnt include repair...

i know one place in arlington heights charges 60-100 just to repair one wheel

looking forward to those pics rach, shoot me a PM on mwir when you post em up, same name as here: Boost_Junkie
