Default EPIC curbage...Pics inside......

So i curbed the living hell out of my front and rear driver's side wheels last night going at a reasonable speed (fast) took a turn too wide, Jack in the Crack fell outta my lap, was distracted, hit curb hard.

50% front wheel curbage, about 30% rear wheel curbage.

Any good shops in the Houston area for wheel repair? Ive been recommended to SABS off Bissonnet as they do many import car wheels (Volks, Works, etc)

Thanks again for the help gentlemen...

$125 at a good wheel shop can make that look like it never happened.

Ya SABS quoted me $99 base price, no lower per wheel.

Trust me, the pics suck and do the curbage no justice (iphone)

Thank god i have a step lip and not a curved one.

Doesn't look too bad? That **** looks terrible for me. I nearly cried when I accidently curbed mines and it's not anywhere near that bad. I got quoted like 120ish per wheel or something like that as well. 99$ sounds like a good price.

My buddy goes to SABS. I don't like their work. Wheels America on 290 and Mangum fixed 3 of my HREs. $125 flat rate/per wheel. They did excellent work. They are located on Sherwood Rd.

If you do go to Wheels America, don't get their clear coat on high polish finish. They powder coat it on, which leaves it not-so transparent. Just have them polish the lips, if you want the lips high gloss polished finish...

SABS - re-finished my wheels and I thought they did a good job considering I provided no info about my wheels. I forgot to mention Wheels America.... my bad Mike.

Im gonna try out Sabs, went there after work yesterday and was quoted 99 per wheel after they saw damage. Place looks good, they had alot of nice cars in there (New Lexus ES, New Acura TL, etc, and there were a couple of sets of Volks in there being fixed.

Good enough for me, im dropping it off on Monday evening and they said it will be ready by Tuesday evening.

Thanks again for the help fellas.

Ouch, I've done something similar and had it repaired for $110 at a local shop.

Expect to pay no more than that amount.
