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

**Idz21** · 07-19-2005, 07:26 AM

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.
