Curb Rash

what happens when its time to get a new wheel put on...those guys arent really 100% careful when mounting new tires...bondo would just crack right off.
 
An important step has been left off....when adding bondo to a wheel you are also adding weight. The wheel would then need to be high-speed balanced .
If you do decide to do something like this, find a tire repair place that can use tape weights.:hippi

That would really depend on how bad the curb rash is that enough bondo be added to throw off the balance.

Yeah typically you go to that kind of place when you NEED to get your rim fixed because you can't buy a new one for whatever reason. For example my roomate has a set of CPR blue inscriptions in 16's which are harder to find than .................... well hard to find. If he ever curbed one thats where he would take it.

www.bentrim.com if you want to spend the money.


It may save you a headache and I can vouch for the nice job they did on my old rims.

Bentrim.com also sells refurbished replacement wheels. For my car, a replacement wheel is $169 compared to $250 from my dealer. Not bad.
