: A little help w/ scratched wheels
littlerudegirl Apr 21, 02, 08:24 PM :rolleyes: First off, save all the drama about me being a more careful driver and all. But as everyone knows the G20 turning radius sucks donkey.
At any rate, I scratched one wheel pretty good against a cobblestone curb (I have Enkei RS6) and I just got these a few months ago.
Is there anything I can do to get this fixed other than to buy a new one? any suggestions would be great.

First the bumper (your fault) now the rim (your fault). Damn Rose what have you been smoking....:smoke: ...hehe
Show us some pics so we can better understand your delima....
Chris Apr 23, 02, 11:11 AM They are out east somewhere.. advertise in back of one of the car magazines.. I had them re-do 2 of my wheels back when I had my Merkur XR4Ti.. they did a really nice job... I forget if they are in conn. or PA or NH???? Anyway, I paid about $100 per wheel including shipping to have them fixed/redone.. In my case, my rims were rare factory ones that were hard to come by and well worth it (mesh cosworth rims).
but good luck!

Looks like finding that company Chris was talking about, or buy a new one are your options...sorry about that....
Chris Apr 23, 02, 06:27 PM you'll probably want to send them the photo first to make sure they can fix it..
Besides Ye Old Wheel shop.. there is also a place called Wheel Collision Center that is supposed to be pretty good too.. but I have no personal experience with them..
good luck...

Unfortunately, Im a little far from the east coast. I was just wondering if there was something else I could probably use to get it repaired. Like a powder coating place. Oh well, maybe this will give me a good reason to get some new ones, I am diggin on the arospeed rs23. ;)

Oh yes...you will be mine :lol:
here you go sweety... www.fixrim.com ...they have locations in Dallas and Houston.
Chris Apr 23, 02, 07:18 PM why not ask your dealer? I know my dealer has someone they deal with locally for repairing trashed rims... I've never had to use it myself (my rims are a-o.k.) but I'll bet there is a place in your local area... check with your dealer.... call around and ask...
