Bam Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 My buddy hit a tree last night and messed up his wheels pretty bad. It's bent severly at the lip, and all curbed up. It's a 17x8 wheel with a nice sized polished lip. Where would you guys recommend having it checked out at? Anybody with a similar case have an idea on price? Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Alloys are hard to repair on the lip like that. If it was to get hit again in the same spot the wheel would probably explode. It may be cheaper to buy a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 alloy wheels are not hard at all to repair just have to know what your doing call Keystone Automotive and ask for Kevin Miller, he refinishes wheels personally outside of the company. the number is 272-8600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdk 4219 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Thw Wheel medic people are definately the ones to go to. They are reasonably priced, and do very good work. they are located very close to the 11th ave Jegs store. If they cant fix it properly, they will tell you up front, and that is good.
