cstmg8 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 One wheel on the Mercedes is going low weekly. Discount tire says it's the wheel, corroded on the lip. I didn't get to see it, so I'm not sure how badly. Looks like a replacement is about $200 on fleabay. Would it be worth it to go to wheel medic, or just replace it? Should I ask for someone specific?

Not Brian Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Went to high school with Bryce, the owner of Wheel Medic. He's a solid dude. Charged around $100 to fix and repaint a wheel I curbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Sounds like you just need to grind down the corrosion and then use a bead sealer and you'll be fine. Take it to a better tire shop and they should be able to help you out for cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how you ruin Tire Pressure sensors, and piss off your mechanic the next time the tire comes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
