Re: downer

Damn that sucks man. I feel your pain...both my right side rims got damaged...never let your girlfriend drive your car!

It's going to be expensive to repair your rim just because of the fact that it's chrome. You're gonna have to get it rechromed. If it's just a polished lip check out this place:

Mag Masters
1419 E Edinger Ave
Santa Ana, CA 92705
(714) 541-9777

This is where I got my rims repaired for about $35 each wheel. They're pretty cheap in price and they did a pretty good job. You can just drop off your rims and they'll have it done that same day. Other places were quoting me $150 to $200 per rim. Oh yeah and be sure to rebalance your wheels after the repair; some places don't balance it after the repair. Repairing it throws off the balance and you may get a shaking at high speeds in your steering wheel.

Re: downer

No problem man. They're cool people over there. They've been repairing rims for about 20 years, so they know what they're doing.
