Most of you remember I hit a curb about a week ago... Well, I got it back from being repaired on Friday and it looks brand new. You can't even tell where it was bent. It balanced fine and drove just like it did before. I will admit I was a little skeptical about having it fixed, but I am not skeptical anymore. The total was $100.00 and it took them about 1.5 hours to complete. So for those of you that ever fall into the same predicament as I did, get it repaired and save your money. Of course if you have the extra $450.00 lying around, go for it. I would post pics, but it looks like new and you can't tell a differnce. Anyway, just thought I would share. Cya!

I've had 3 rims fixed before.

1 is on my car now and is perfect.

Another cracked where they worked on it, (while i was driving) and then proceeded to get more bent up when they were taking the tire off of it.

Lesson learned. Aluminum needs a specialist. It can't be heated, or it's as good as garbage.

Who did you use? Do NOT use wheels america.

But the guy from Caifornia Chrome Wheels, did my 18, and it's quality work.

I had one fixed on my wife's 2001 LHS. 17" alum. Was bent on back side, not enough to be cracked though. They fixed it and no problems yet. That was about 1yr ago.

Tires Etc in Pensacola did it for me. Their customer service is second to none, hands down.

he said he misses you but he's a little concerned!
Then he asked me, if you're going to use these to hide the owee you put in the rim.

Wow, he was still a baby. Yep, those work really good for hiding things. I know you own stock in that company!
