Angry Curbed my wheels

I have never curbed my rims ever and in one weekend I curbed 2. So pissed but thats another story. The damage is minor, not too deep seems that they could be repaired pretty easily. About how much can I expect to pay to repair 2 wheels. Thanks!

I work at a discount tire in texas but on average cost anywhere from 125 to 150 to have a wheel repaired not sure what they use where your at but its alot cheaper then buying a new wheel. Well depending on the wheel

Cool thanks just needed a ball park figure. Started calling around and thats the price Ive been getting. Sorry for not posting pics didnt really feel like I needed to just to get an idea of what it cost to repair since it was just minor curbing to the lip. Thanks again!

Keep in mind that depending on the wheel, repairing/refinishing two wheels may make them look different than the other two. I paid $105 per wheel to refinish the lips on my SF Winnnings.

^I'd say no more than 150.00 per wheel depending on how bad the damage is.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to get them re-finished The first curb rash is always the most painful...

I did the same thing as well. There is no sidewall on the tires to protect the rim. So frustrating. I just bought the car and the wheels were perfect. I had never curbed a rim before in my life.
