Do any of yall know of a good shop for repairing curb rash....

 

Nope sorry, but if you find one , please post it up :P

 

Dependable Wheel & Tire Repair in Renton (http://www.dependablewheel.com/). They taken good care of me. They gave me a partial sponsorship running in the WWSCC last year for wheel and tire services. Tim Foster (the owner) is a great guy to just kick back and shoot the breeze with.

Cascade Wheel on HWY 99 in Lynnwood. A little north of 196th street.

 

Steve auto shop in Park Place Ltd area in Bellevue

 

I had good luck at at shop on Bel-Red Road in Bellevue. It was a in-between 140th and 148th, near a Miller Paint store ... Can't remember the name of the shop but they did good work at a reasonable price.

 

Dependable Wheel & Tire Repair in Renton does top notch work, but according to my dad, there's supposed to be a guy in Bothell who's God's gift to wheels. I'll post more if I can find him.

 

... just got this yesterday... only 4 letters in the alphabet that can describe how i feel... is it possible to DIY fix?

 

sweet mother!! WTF! time for new wheels, that looks kinda bad man. I'll buy them, how much you want for all 4?

 

Man that sucks. I just curbed one of my wheels 2 days ago , but it wasn't that bad.

 

No way to match the stock color with anything over the counter so DIY is out of the question. I had good luck with Infiniti of Kirkland's wheel guy matching the silver when the shop scratched my lug areas on my OEM 19's

 

I found the same thing when I had the wheels repaired on my G -- the shop was able to match the color closely but the finish was not the same.

I have some rash on my Z wheels but I'm holding off getting them done since I'm not sure how exact a match I can get.

 

Its because almost all repair shops use a silver basecoat/clearcoat finish, while the OEM wheels are a black basecoat, translucent silver topcoat finish. This is what is Volk's mercury silver color, and isn't available in the US. Its why the silver doesn't have alot of metallic fleck to it, but rather looks like solid metal, and why its almost impossible to match the color.

 

that's not good to hear. someone said using GM Ultra Silver was good. wonder if that's true.

 

I'm glad I wasn't around when you did that. Hope no children heard you.

I have a small dose of rash on one wheel. I didn't know what wheel rash was before I got the Z. It's too easy to do.

 

i''ve got an appointment with dependable. i'll post some before and after pictures.

they're putting my new tires on also.

 

What kind of wheel are they fixing for you? forged or cast? post up a pic of before and after if you can so we can see if its worth it. please

 

they're these. (not my car)



but i will take a pic of the damage and post it.

 

i'm retarded i forgot to take a picture before they fixed the rash.

they did a really awesome job, it looks good as new. they even took me to taco del mar for $2 burritos while i waited .

they're cool guys and they did an amazing job. i would recommend Dependable Wheel Repair to anyone.
