I managed to bent one of my wheel going over world's largest pot hole. Could someone please recommend a reputable and skillful wheel repair shop.

This is a single-piece alloy wheel. The damage appeared to be only localized to the lip area.

Thanks in advance.

 

Advaned Wheel Repair fixed my track wheels flawlessly and pulled some nice dents out of my bro's volk SE37's.

www.magmasters.com they're located in santa ana.

 

Thanks a whole bunch guys! I will check w. them

Cheers,

 

Tru Wheel did a great job on my old racing hart C5's. I don't know if they are still around though

 

tru wheel is still around and would recommend them.

 

That's good to hear. Great people and great work

 

Thanks for the suggestion folks. I will check with them all.

Has anyone had first hand experience in getting wheels repaired? ... particularily single-piece designs that are painted and clear coated?

The one place I've checked with said it was no problem getting teh dent out, but they are concerned with the paint, which will likely be destroyed when they torch the section to soften it up before bending. A complete repaint is recommended since it will likely be impossible to match the Advan's original 'gunmetal' paint (also contain metallic flakes).

I'm wondering if there are any other repair process that doesn't require the heat.

 

Had an Antera 101 wheel repaired by MagMaster about 10 years ago. It didn't turn out so well(color didn't match, wheel out of balance). Maybe my bad experience was isolated... obviously they are still in business

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Truwheel does a great job.

Thanks ... I'll be checking in w. them next.

 

Im sorry..went to magmasters a couple of years ago and CANNOT recommend them. They ruined my tire and said that they were like that...no way!
and they did a terrible job on the finishing...Dont go to Magmasters in SA.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

clint, shame on you for bending a rim

 

Shame on LA county for having the worst street ... it was pot hole galore!!!

 

CHICANES!

 

Hey,

Let me know what you find as i have a bent rim too (Volk GT7). Its on the outer edge near the rubber, but hardly noticeable.


I when to two places today, the price ranges from $140-150. One place said it will look like new but the polish lip will get dull if I don't maintain it. They said Volks used some kind of anidide (not sure about the spelling) that makes it look shine all the time.


I am still debating if I want it fix.
