Unhappy Bent Rim Repair in Northern NJ?

Hit a massive pothole doing about 80 on the Turnpike. I immediately pulled over and didn't notice any damage. This morning, when I took the wheel off, I found the inside of the rim was bent. Thank god it wasn't the polished lip! Tire was perfectly fine. No ruptured sidewall. I don't think it will be that too hard to fix for a pro shop.

Any recommendations? I know most people find places for curb rash, but what about for bent rims? Worst case scenario is that wheels of america place in the middle of long island, but I'm hoping to find someplace closer.

Puff,

Try Action Tire on Rt.46 in Lodi. I bought my Toyos there and they mounted them on wheels that I had already bought. They do good work. They might be able to fix your wheel.

I just had my OEM wheel done by them.

The guy for my area was Mike Trento but he never answers his phone.
I had Gene Rombola do my wheels.
Call him and tell him the guy with the G35 From Ricoh in Fairfield referred you.

Man it would be pretty nice if someone offered a service like that for powdercoating/anodizing wheels. I want to get my OEM 19" wheels powdercoated or anodized gunmetal grey.

Just dont let them touch the polished/annodized portion cuz their franchisee on LI F'd up Coupins wheels worse then it was! He has same as you.

Man u must have hit hard cuz i hit the same pothole twice n saw stars but the wheel was fine! At least it was the inside.

You may wanna PM ducati guy. He knows a great place in PA I think and I believe he is a frequent customer!

Puff.....two places that I know of around the Jersey area, One is www.jsalloy.com They are located in Neptune down the shore.

The other, which may be the one ducatiguy uses is in Bath, Pa. www.wheelcollision.com

I had my curb rash repaired twice from jsalloy. They did a decent job, and are pretty reasonable cost wise.

Check them both out...........

Dennis,

Thanks. I'll probably check out the PA shop in a while (curb rash). It's only about an hour from me straight out on 78. Beats Farmingdale.

^^^ i've used wheelcollision before to restore my set of 4 rims. excellent work. Only place that i'll trust now. plus no one seems to be able to mount/balance 18+size rims in my area. Bath is right next to the allentown airport. ~1 mile away.

hey been a while since someone posted in here, just wondering if anyone has any upto date places in monmouth/ocean county area that can fix a rim? What do they usually charge to repair? Debating if its worth getting it repaired or just buying a used one off ebay.. 08 g35x
