Wheel repair (i.e. curbed wheels) locally?

[Dimitrios]

Well, I pretty much got ***** on this: http://www.msprotege.com/vbb230/showthread.php?t=95392

(I have a great week and then open up the boxes to look at scrap metal).

Does anyone have any idea locally of a place? Looks like this is going to turn into a money pit (or end up selling them for next to nothing...).

Direct quotes from that site Wheels America:

Wheels America has remanufactured over 500 thousands wheels.

Wheels America has remanufactured wheels for movie stars, sports stars, politicians, and most importantly our own families, and we will treat your wheel repair the same.

I never trust people who can't get their grammar right. But then again this may be your only option...

[Dimitrios]

Yup; thanks for the heads up and I agree about the grammar part. Pet peave as well.

wow, you should have gone with mine, which are still for sale by the way, with tires....

Good luck with that though, thats some bad stuff.

 

[Dimitrios]

Yah, I had PMed you a few times, but I never heard back.

Oh well.........

damn that sux

 

[Dimitrios]

Yah, I'll try to sell them for like $125 or something, seeing that at least one wheel is perfect.....I'll talk to my boss in the AM and see if he has any hook ups

 

[cazish]

Dimitrios- that sucks. What an asshole. I will be interested to see if he responds to the other thread. I will see what I can find out about local rim repair. A friend of mine had one fixed a few years back. I remember it being somewhat pricey however. I'll post any info. Good luck.

Thanks. I just emailed him (@ work); I'm sure he'll come back with "well, the dealer sells them for $3243453.00 each, so the price + repair was fair".

You know, I'm not bitter about the money or anything. I'm just bitter about not being dealt an honest card.

I just called:

Keystone Automotive
3333 W. 47th Place
Chicago IL 60632-3041
773-927-9600

Transwheel Corporation
620 Morse Avenue
Elk Grove Village IL 60007-5102
847-290-8473
www.transwheel.com

I'd be looking at ~ $150-$200 each to repair x 3 wheels = $600 (top end) to repair them.

Total cost for these wheels would end up nearly $900.

Life is good.......anyone have any novel coffee table needs? Time to post some sale threads....

You should just get some metal sand paper and sand them nearly smoooth...the powdercoat them....Less than 500 bucks and they will look BETTER than new
