You wouldn't believe how ****ed off I was when the other day I got to close to a curb that I was parking next to and before you know it, I hear my rim scraping against the curb. I jump out of my car and take a look and even though it's not as bad as thought, there are three nice new scrapes on the rim. These are only about a month old, 18's, and the new hyper silver color. Would it be possible to have these fixed or would I be better off buying a new rim? Thanks for the suggestions.

Hawaii guy? Aloha bro.

Yeah from memory, you can send your rim out to be fixed for less than the cost of an new 18" rim. I "think" it's about $100-$200 for rims w/o chrome.

I see ads for rim repair in the back of major car magazines like C&D, R&D etc...

 

yeah it definitely can be done, generally. i dont know the specifics about your color and finish and all that but there definitely are shops that repair and re-coat rims for $100-$200.

 

Yep, that's me!! Aloha! Thanks for the info on the rim repair. You just don't know how much this frustrated me when I saw my new rims all scraped up. It's bad enough that since I'm riding on low pros that every rock, sand, etc. gets picked up and finds it way to my rim. Oh well, price you pay for looks I guess. See ya.

owww that sounded like it hurt

 

Yup, when I had my accident ( the second one ) the insurance company decided to get the two front rims repaired for $150 each. Geez, for $200 each I could have gotten new ones. They'll do anything to save a buck.

They have a really good turn around rate and do excellent work. Most rims they can fix in 24 hours, plus its a flat fee of $109.
