Rim repair

So I just curbed my TCII's Lucky thing its only one rim and its not so deep. Now does anyone know anyplace that can do the whole repair job to get these fixed. If worse comes to worse I might just order a new rim if it can't be done.

Without seeing pics, can't really tell for sure if it's repairable or not. But, we use Todd and Puna at Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. They have a store front in the new Industrial area near the Tony Group. You can call them at 391-8633.

I spoke to the guys in Waipio Industrial and they quoted me $120.00 per rim.

hey brandon... i talked to puna and he said that we would be spending about 350 for it..for that 1 rim..it's so damaged that he told me what needs to be done and came out with that estimation..he said we're better buying another rim... and he recommended someone else to do it too... so we pretty much just claimed the insurance for it and turned the rim in at the post office... jess will just have to go rim hunting again.. he found 1 but he has to repaint it.... kinda sucked. oh well....

thanks for your recommendation, but you should probably pay attention to which region you're in. FYI shipping sucks ***** to and from HI.

All I can say is Todd did an awesome job on my rim yesterday brought I in and it was fixed in under 3 hours. I'll post pics of the before and after when I get back home from work. Wish I could upload pics from my iPhone.
