Scraped alloy wheels

jammy · 07-13-2005, 12:05 PM

Oh god

My wife has scraped my beautiful 18 inch alloys TWICE this week. I am close to tears.

At first I blew my stack but then I realise - hey this is fixable and there are a lot more important things to be worrying about. But does anyone know if I can get this fixed up (I assume so) and if so really roughly how much?

Thanks in advance for any help

Check the DIY area, I saw a thread in there tht had a link to some other site with the details. The guy did it without even removing the tires from the rims.

Got it - an amzing job that guy did. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

professional repair cost around 110 dollars per rim and is well worth it
