Okay so yesterday I was in Boston and I was coming out of the parking garage behind quincy market, the lane was really really narrow and usually im good with anticipating but I dont know how this happend and I heard a loud metal on curb sound and I immediately knew what had happened. Its only the front pass. side wheel, the spokes are fine, its only the lip that got gashed, and its not a scratch or anything, its a gash lol.

I called the dealer to see what im looking at for one wheel, the dude said $1200/wheel (screw that). I called this place near by me called Rim Pro in Tewskbury. Just wondering has anyone had an experience with them? The lady said that they would have to machine the whole wheel and then powdercoat it. The only thing that scares me is the color, I told them its a bright silver wheel and i dont know if they have a paint code for the wheels. I would hate to have a screwed up color. Its $185 to repair each wheel. Any idea or suggestions or feedback about Rim Pro or what I should do? THanks

 

That sounds a little high...i think the standard rate is usually around 125-150 per rim...that is what my buddy Chris paid (125)when he curbed his CLK430 rim in NYC

 

what about the finishing, did it match? thats what scares me the most because im very very meticulous about my rims and this just killed me..

 

That may be the place I used. They fixed some curb rash on 2 wheels, and refinished & recoated them. They were aftermarket (Axix Milano). The metal fix was really good, but the color match was off. They even tried it twice I think. Thankfully, both rims are on the same side so it is not as obvious. I think it was about $150-175 a rim.

 

yea the price varies per size, obv. having 19" doesnt help the cause. However the paint finish is what Im the most worried about, I love the finish of these rims and i would hate to have one odd colored wheel. Maybe ill just sit it out and wait before my lease is up to get it fixed..I just cant stand looking at it lol. Is there a paint code for our wheels??
