Any rim repair shops?
 

I recently found out that 2 of my rims are bent slightly and I was hoping to get some recommendations on where I could possibly take it to in order to repair it. I am currently running SSR Type F 18x8 rims. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I don't know...I think they only work on "wheels".

Rite-Way does top notch work, but they also change top notch prices. From my visits there couple years back, I did not see many cars below the 6-figure mark.

They quotes me $400-500/wheel to fix and powder coat a set of '04 STi BBS wheels :crazy: but Walnut Creek is a white washed rich area with Teslas instead of Priuses, so the shop changes proportionately to the median incomes.

Here is my thread from a while back asking the same question...it has other shop suggestions in it as well

i agree it's not cheap and i am mostly vouching for the quality as i don't have experience with any other shops. when i had mine done (a while ago) it was one of the only shops around me that would touch aluminum wheels.

I am not questioning their quality, more so difference between "Not Cheap" and "Overpriced Simply Because We Can". I went to Fremont and got just as good of work for fraction of the price because...well...it is industrial Fremont. Location location location location :lol:

Thanks for the recommendations, I will take a look at both places, you guys are awesome! :D

Wow, they must have raised prices or something. They fixed a couple of bent and curb rashed 04 BBS wheels for $100 per wheel. This was about 6 years ago though. They do great work.

My quote was ~3 years back. It broke down into $200/wheel for curb rash fixing + $200/wheel for powder coat in "basic" colors or $300 for the "fancier" bronze color I wanted. So it would have been $2,000 total for the set.

No no no no...

I got my whole set of P1s media blasted and powder coated for $300 in Santa Clara. There are shops that will do it for less too, but I know this guy does good work for sure.

what a strong comment :P To be honest. It's not Walnut Creek exactly... It's just centrally located :D
