Anyone have experienced with repaired rims??

[Fish]

The baby mama slapped a big pot hole around christmas time that bent one of the rims bad enough to where it wouldnt hold air anymore. Her dad found a shop that fixes aluminum rims and had it done. IIRC it cost $150 a rim. I have decided that the rims in question would look pimp on my car. (probably cause fastgs88 has the same ones. )

Anyone ever have rims fixed? If so, did they hold up?? Heres a pic of where it was fixed.

Heres what the rims look like.

I dig em. Subtle, yet sleek IMO. Not to bling bling, yet shiney.

Did you read the thread? ^

I have had experiences with rim repair at work and havent had a problem with any that we have had repaired.

get those on the car asap, they will be fine. We send rims out to be repaired all the time at work.

mille miglias good choice (except for they went out of business and finding replacements are near impossible...)

I have a slightly bent rim from a nasty pot hole, is that fixable? what about some road rash?

The rim is already fixed. However, Im sure that is where it was done at.

Thats good to hear about getting them fixed. I dont have the money for the rubber around it. That will probably wait till Christmas time. Im probably gonna keep my stockers and throw winter tires on those so these probably really wont see action till spring time.

if you need tires to get by check out ebay. I got some used michelin pilot sport a/s tires for $250! There was about 6/32 of tread left too.

As long as the job was done right, you should be fine with those rims.

Both are fixable as long as there is no crack or the crack is small and not in a spot that makes it irreparable. Curb rash you could do DIY there's a few how tos available if you run a google search.

problem is they are powdercoated so I'd have to get them re-powdered I think...

I dont have that much. I wont have that much to spend on anything for at least a few months. By that time summer is over.
