Wheel repair

Anyone in Maryland know of a good wheel repair shop?
I have some G35 rays with rash I'm trying to get done.

Trust me, there are none that do it at a reasonable price. They all are going to hit you with around $150 per wheel or more. You can get new wheels for that price. If you have hypersilver they will tell you to just get the whole wheel repainted a different color if you want an even color. If they touch it up it won't look 100 percent the same. Some won't even try if it's hypersilver. But try Jose at 443-780-5762. Byron, the service advisor at JBA infiniti, gave me his number. I guess he does their wheels. I need my wheels done but haven't had a chance to get them done yet. If you call let me know what he says as far as cost.

How bad is the rash? I just recently refinished a set of wheels with rash and it came out pretty good. Now if your looking for professional results then you might wanna call6a pro of course.

The rash is not terrible. Just enough for me not to want
to put fresh tires on and bolt them on.

Some 180 grit sandpaper and some attachments for a drill makes easy work of most curb rash. Deeper gashes will require bondo to fill in the gashes if your looking for perfection. Of course after all that you'll have to prime and paint but that's not to hard as well.


These were in bad shape when i bought them but a little elbow grease and some time and I'm happy with the outcome and it's not to difficult to do. I suggest you weigh doing it yourself vs paying a professional.

This is one of the worst ones. Pretty much all are similar.

Finally got the wheels done! This is a color off of a Tesla.
Wanted something a little different from gunmetal.

Show us picture with the car. Also, where in DMV did you take the wheels to get powder coat.
