Glenns wheel polishing is the only place to go IMO. Does great work and is a nice guy ! Good luck with getting it fixed !

Default Rim Repair in Tampa

Hello,

my brother Greg runs a Tampa based rim repair business called Hot Wheel System - he's really really good and does a lot of G35's and 350Z's. you may have seen his white Toyota Tacoma truck and trailer throughout Tampa & Clearwater. he will come right to your home or place of employment, he even has a generator on board if there is no AC power available which means he could even meet you at the beach on your day off!

his web site is www.HotWheelSystem.com or call 207.319.9812. hope this is helpful, you will be glad you contacted him-Greg is really good to deal with and very professional.

thanks, Gibby

Bumping a 6-year old thread - hoping to get some current info.

Who's the best at repairing a curbed wheel in Tampa. Forged, polished aluminum (Rays), curbed about 1/4 of the way around. Would need welding and remachining. Any advice would be most welcome. Did some searching on Google and some other forums, but all the links are dead, so presumably those shops are gone. Thanks.

Thanks, but I think he may be gone. Here's the link I found thru Google, and it's dead:

Yeah for some reason the link doesn't work but if you call or stop by his shop he's still in business. I took a rim to him a few months ago so I know he's not out of business.

Well, I'm negotiating for the wheels now, but 2 are curbed. If I get them, I'll have to take a drive by and see if Glenn is still there. Fingers are crossed on both counts. Thanks for the info.

Glenn's Wheel Repair is indeed still around, but no longer has a web presence. Spoke to them on the phone this AM, and will be dropping off 2 Rays/Nismo LMGT4's next week for some curb damage repair. Will post before/after pics.

For those interested they're at 8025 Anderson Road, Tampa (813) 882-0224

I'm not even going to bother posting pics. Who needs to see what brand new wheels look like? Glenn's did a fricking amazing job re-machining the wheel edges and even perfectly-matched the clearcoat (with no visible blending). The guy doing the work, Brian, is a true craftsman, and the price charged was almost too cheap (bring cash - hint, hint). Here's the "before" pic, though, copied from the wheel seller's thread:
