Exclamation Looking for local NJ/NY/PA members the perform wheel rim repairs

I recently clipped a curb while pulling into a shopping mall. I'm looking for someone who performs rim repairs. The wheel is not bent, but there's some curb rash, as well as a slightly bigger chunk (about half of a dime in diameter) where the rim hit the curb the hardest.

I found this DIY process on the net -> http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/w...uff-repair.htm . I would be willing to do this myself, but in essence of time, I wouldn't be able to get the products fast enough.

I'm looking to get this done either today or tomorrow. If someone could help me out, or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.



I didn't know which topic to post this under, but please help!

Thanks for the link. I gave them a call and they charge anywhere between 145 and 180. However, they need about 3 to 4 days to get it done. I wanted to get it done either today or tomorrow. hmmm

Because this is a region oriented question it's been moved to the Northeast Forum.

It's a forged alloy wheel. Painted and clear coated.
