Fixing curb rash in the Valley (LA)
Fixing curb rash in the Valley (LA)
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get curb rash fixed in the Valley (Los Angeles, CA)?
I've read posts where people mention Ram Tire, Custom Wheel Refinishing, and Tru Wheel. Can anyone comment on the quality of any of these companies? Tru Wheel and Custom Wheel Refinishing are pretty close by, so I'm leaning towards them. They also have shorter turnaround times.
I know this isn't in the right forum, but I couldn't figure out how to post in the SoCal Forum.

Is there a correct process?
So as I understand it, if wheel curb rash repair is "done right," the shop will sand the area, paint it, then clear coat it. Is that correct? Can anyone chime in that has had rash repaired?
velvet touch...in OC....I made the drive down there because they are THE BEST.
And yes, "done right," the shop will sand the area, paint it, then clear coat it.
Many other on here have had it done by VT....hands down good. Kamal also knows someone local in LA, he's business neighbor...

Tru Wheel = no fix
Just dropped by Tru Wheel and spoke with one of the techs. He took one look at the rim and told me that they couldn't do it. Said that the paint color is only available in Germany.
Called Velvet Touch. They might be willing to do a Saturday pickup from Mission Viejo Infiniti and they told me that they haven't had any problems on any G35 wheels. Most likely going to go with them unless they can't do the Saturday pickup.

If they are stock wheels then go with Velvet Touch because they specialize in doing those wheels and have the closest color known to man (for Nissan/Infiniti)!
They go to Infiniti Dealerships to work on wheels! It doesn't get better than when it comes to experience dude...trust me...
