one of my 19inch BBS wheels has a bent lip. What is the best way to get this fixed? This place by my house can fix it it but they heat it up and bend it back into shape ruining the finish and it would not match the rest of the wheels. Any places that can fix the rim without damaging the finish?

 

I had the same problem. Ended up buying a new rim.. yours doesn't look as bad as mine did though. it may be fixable.

 

arent those like $800 a rim? damn what did u fall into?

 

a small pothole while making a left hand turn

 

i think they all will have to heat it to bend it back....otherwise it'll
probably crack if you force it back by just hitting it.

you can try www.wheelcollision.com or wheels america:

If you're local or willing to ship to California Wheel Techniques does a great job. I bent some wheels on my 240SX and had them fix it with no problems.

Ohhh the link, http://www.wheeltechniques.com/

Good luck man and nice wheels!

 

A good wheel shop will bend it back to place, fill and smooth out the gashes, re-pollish the lip, and clear coat it.

 

only problem is matching that exact color. if it was a typical silver or
some solid color it's a lot easier. even the stock 18's are hard to match.
