If you curbed your rim it has been costing most forum members $70-90 to get it fixed at the dealership. You can take it to any rim/wheel shop and they should be able to fix it.

Somebody on this board was raving about repairmywheels.com I contacted them 3 times with zero response. SO much for great customer service.

Going direct to a wheel repair specialist will probably save you some bucks vs. going to the dealership.

I used a local guy in my area when returning my wife's lease last year. He made three wheels look as good as new including straightening of one with a severlely bent rim. It cost us $300 for enerything. If it wasn't for the bent rim it would have been $210 to fix the curb rash on the trio.

Gigga: I'm sure you'll be ditching those stock ones soon for some gold wheels. I noticed in your many posts you LOVE gold wheels. Maybe it's a Louisiana thing. Gold is very popular there. ;-)

haha, yes indeed. i would really like some 20' volk le . well, im not really a lsu fan. people around here are bandwagon fans anyways. all of a sudden they are rooting for lsu, back when they were garbage, you would not see one lsu fan around. they will lose to ohio state, you can believe that.
