Boca/Miami Wheel Repair

I got a small 1" rash on my 19" OEM rim. I know its nothing big but i hate it already. I'm looking for a shop that can fix it locally and do a perfect job. Anyone have a wheel repair shop they can recommend?

Most Infiniti dealerships use a wheel repair specialist or shop. Ask for their number or your own Infiniti dealership can repair the wheel for you, but they will add a surcharge to the price of what the wheel repair shop/specialist offers.

For those in Orlando and want their rims repaired:

Call Glen Almeter Wheel Repair
Does work for Infinti, Porche, BMW and Mercedes dealerships in Orlando.

407 758 6583

$100 bucks a wheel, no dismounting of tire from wheel necessary, just make sure they are clean prior to him fixing the curb rash. His wheel paint that he uses matches our wheels perfectly (trust me I know, I've had my curb rashed wheel done once by him and will do it again once I get back from NJ).

BTW, Ian has had the stock 18's repaired and I can't see the repair at all. From the photo, it would appear that you have the stock 19's so they may or may not want to paint your wheel.

Update: I'm compiling a wheel repair list for Florida

South FL:
Turbax Wheel - www.turbax.com
Mobile Wheel - www.mobilewheelrepair.com

North FL:
Glen Almeter Wheel Repair - (407) 758-6583



I called the dealer and they recommended Turbax Wheel - www.turbax.com

They quoted my $100-200 which seems a little high and they need 3-5 days to fix it. I dunno what is worse: having a 1" rash or driving on a donut for a couple days.

The Tire Kingdom that scratched my coupe wheels recommended Turbax too.

I just need all of my stock 18 inch coupe wheels repainted completely. Harsh cleaners have removed some of the paint. Can Glen Almeter just repaint the whole wheel?

i posted something on this a while back, no responses. my friend runs his own company now after doing paint, dents, and leather for years. he had some of the largest luxury car dealers in south florida as clients, and does excellent work. he has offered to come to meets or schedule full days to fix dents, paint, rims, leather, etc for the florida group, and will give us a nice price break. if you guys are interested let me know and i will see how soon we can put something together.

Can your friend re-dye leather to match the stock color? I had a little accident with some 409 and the dye is now gone.
