wheel repair

maybe you can enlighten me if this OE wheel fix is possible for DIY

 

probably not for DIY. You would need to get the painted and everything. You guys just need to buy aftermarket wheels, not our old hand-me-downs.

justin, I disagree....repairing wheels is def a DIY job, it's just that color matching can be tricky

 

aftermarket?? Id rather rock a true set of OE wheels. Im a fan of the "clean" look, not the "modded" look.

 

yes i disagree also...just looking for someone who has done this or can steer me to the nearest match for this particular finish

 

the stock finish is not possible within US. repair could be DIY just not the stock finish.

 

agreed about the paint matching... i had a wheel repaired, and had to wait longer than a week past when they said it would be done because they couldn't get the finish right.

wish you the best of luck.

 

Spend the 100 beans or whatever the charge and you will get
a color match + warranty

 

it's not "clean" to put on another car's wheels. That's just being cheap!!

 

No. That's being smart. Unless you spend a WAD, aftermarkets aren't any better. I'd much rather have some nice oem wheels than some aftermarket style that some civic might be rolling on.

 

Is there ANY silver that we can at least use as TOUCH UP?

 

I had a 2001 maxima with the anniversary ed. rims which got a severe curb damage- enough to remove about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of metal. I found a place to fix it in Texas by searching the web and e-mailing them pics. I think they charged about $150 including return shipping. Sorry I can't remember their name.

 

You obviously have no idea what your talking about. I'm not gonna even waste my time with your retarded input.

^^^AMEN
Exactly Jeff, some people just don't get it.

 

thanks for the input everyone...I called my paint guy and were gonna try some bench tests...Ill get a b4 and after setup and well see if I can come up with a code we could all use.

 

obviously you don't. Flame on!!! Putting on another car's wheels is the gayest and cheapest thing I've ever seen. If you're going to mod a car, do it right!! Not the cheap *** ricer way. Yes people spend way too damn much on wheels and wheels would definitely be one of the last things to mod on my list, but this is not the way out. FLAME ON!! ALL OF YOU!!! Daddy's out!!
