Hey guys!

So I have not been to careful with my wheels. I have some heavy road rash on the front right one and some minor wear and tear on the others. I recently heard that wheels can be repaired instead of replaced.

Does it really work? Has anyone had any experience with this? Good or bad.

Anyone know any good shops in Massachusetts or S. New Hampshire?

Thank you for any help anyone can give me, it is appreciated.

 

As long as the wheel isn't bent or cracked it can usually be refinished.

Sorry I can't give you a reference but I live in SoCal. Maybe Google..?

 

That does help, I could google it and look at reviews, but was hoping to get a recommendation from someone in this forum, someone that had dealt with the shop before

 

Hi Vance,

When I got my coupe last year all 4 rims were curb rashed pretty bad and I found a guy that came to your house and he did all 4 for $65 a wheel. I think for 2 or less it would have been $85-90 per.

Unfortunately he was here in Arizona so I cannot help with recommendations but at least I can give you a ballpark of what to expect price wise.

 

Paint them yourself. I'm actually going to do mine next week, while on the car.

 

Ya the thing is I want to keep the car looking stock, but I appreciate the suggestion

 

That's awesome!! I wish I could find a guy around here like that. But everything costs more up here

 

The paint I'm going to use is DupliColor Hyper Silver, in which is barely a shade brighter then factory. Google/Youtube it

 

I YouTube'd it and the results were excellent. You can't even tell it was there.

 

Any of you guys get around to repairing your wheels? Did you touch up or paint the entire wheel?

 

I'm not sure, but John @ Royal Wheel & Tire in Arlington, MA might be able to help you out.

Give him a call and tell him William sent you.

Too bad Rim & Wheel Works in Waltham, MA are now closed for business...they would have been the best bet.

Hope this helps
