I curbed one of my wheels while going through a drive through. It runs for about 3/4 of the wheel . Does anyone know a shop that can fix it and about how much will it cost?

So you guys have actually had personal experience with these shops? Did any of you guys bring in a polished lip for them to fix?

You bet. One of mine's getting fixed there as we speak. I have seen their work ... looks great. 24 hr turn around is a huge bonus as well.

Had a less than spetacular experience at another not too long ago.

I had a set of 3-piece Blitz type 03 wheels in the back of my truck years ago taking them to a shop to c if they would with the tires i had and on the way got into a race with someone and forgot about the wheels in the back of the truck with no tailgate and i raced the car. The wheels were boxed. Well. about 1/8 of a mile later. I remembered about the wheels.. i went back and one wheel fell off of the truck and was still spinning in the middle of the intersection with a cop already there. I grabbed the wheel. took it straight to a place called "MAG-MASTERS" in Santa Ana off of Edinger. They were busy but they fixed the curb rash/scratched lip in like 10 minutes. They also checked the wheel to make sure it was true...not bent. It was all good. 10 bucks.. no crap...I think they were in a good mood and my wheel story to them was probably a sad one. 800 bux a wheel. sooooo

MAG-Masters is a really good place too. One of my friends actually took his BLITZ wheels there to get them polished....they came out awesome...it was almost like a mirror finish!

the work i had done by wheels america in stanton was only so so. I would not recommend it. To the average person you probably cannot tell the wheel has been worked on. It is blatantly obvious to me though.

Try Velvet Touch. He is located in Escondido, and you don't have to go to him, he will come to you. He fixed my volk rim perfectly like new. Give him a call (760) 845-6482. His name is Nathan Pittman.
