is he just bending the lip back? or refinishing the whole wheel? I'm just going to get all the rims redone cause the lips need a GOOD polish and they have no clearcoat on them. So i'm going to get them clearcoated after they polish them just to make them lower maintenance. Also getting the centers refinished a little bit darker while i'm at it.

$ 120 for a whole wheel refinish is a hell of a deal, I paid that just to have a slight bend repaired on the lip.

I know that they where repaying repair cost to wheels here in atlanta a couple years ago... now they laugh in your face. its worth a shot tho!

Sorry to see this as well as the other damage shown here. This pic illustrates that even $3000 wheels aren't indestructable.

Dude, socal has the worse roads ever. Just the other day I probably tore up my whole my front sway and suspension driving down a street im not familiar with! There was a crator sized pothole that I fell in, i wouldnt even call it a pothole anymore. it was more like a ditch, except no roadsigns, no warnings.

and i have tucked & stretched tires.
