Bay Area wheel refinishing?

Hey what up people. Hey i need to get one of my wheels fixed. My sister curbed one of them. I was wondering if there is a place in the bay that does this stuff or if anyone recommends a place. How much does it usually cost.?

Thanks

Mark

^^Be sure to remove anything else off the wheel (i.e. center caps, valve caps) before you bring it in. They lost my rays valve stem cap, and scraped up my Volk center cap when removing it. All things considered, they did good work on the rim.

I need to get some of my wheels worked on. Wheels Technique quoted me $250+ to fix one of my curbed OEM 19's. I think that is too much...might as well put that towards new rims.

How extensive is the damage to you wheel? I have a very slight rash on one of my front wheels, which I want touched up.

They didn't see them. He just told me that for OEM 19's they charged $250+. The wheels are not bad at all. They just have the typical rash along the lip of the rim. I would be willing to fix them for $125-$150, but not for $250 each.

Sup guys, i think they just make up quotes on the phone. I got quoted 170 a rim for OEM 19. Best bet is to go there and have them do it for like 150. haha.

Yeah i am still going. See ya there with my curbed *** rims.

Rite way wire & wheel in Walnut Creek will fix curb rashes for around 100. That is how much it cost one I had a rash fixed.
