I will concur with Chris - they can do some good work (well, I have no clue about this particular wheel place, as I'm a few thousand miles away, but anyways). My wife pulled a U-turn in my Golf last year and rubbed a curb with my 16" OZ F1 Cup Plus wheels. They have a nice machined lip on them. Scratched the snot out of it. Anyways, I took it into a place here in Calgary (Alberta Wheel Repair) and they machined it, repainted it, re-clearcoated it and trued it. Cost me $120 CDN and you can hardly even tell it was done. So if I came across a good deal on some alloys that needed some repair, or had alloys on my van and damaged one, it's not all lost! It can be fixed, and not all that much (compared the the $500 per rim my OZs cost). Plus, it works really well at mending stress in relationships ;-) Keith JordanVw@AOL.COM wrote: > got a alloy wheel with some damage? curbed, bent, chunk > taken out of rim > etc.. this place called the "Wheel Collision Center" > located in bath, pa > does some great work.. i took a Audi A4 wheel there with > a big chunk out of > the rim and they welded it back up, machined it, > straightened it, and painted > and clearcoated it.. looks brand new. |
