Default Repairing VOLK TE-37 Bronz

Soo my tire shop kinda nicked them while mounting tires.

They said they could repair it!?

i heard volks cant be repaired cause of the clear coat and the paint code.

Should i let them try? they gonna send me to a wheel repair shop.

or should i try to make them replace it?


ALSOOOOO does anyone know where i can get just ONE of these caps?
they busted one lol

what the hell kinda careless shop is this...sounds like that dropped that sh*t. Pics would be awesome as well to see the extent.

I cant say they sound like a good shop from what happened to you but I would ponder wether or not they would have the money to replace a volk.

and I have no clue about volk paint codes...but I have seen volks repaired on the forums before.

Unless they are going to powdercoat or paint all 4 wheels, I wouldn't let them touch it. But ya, pics would help

IMO a "nick" doesn't justify replacing an entire wheel. Wheels get nicked everyday during street driving by pebbles and the such. It's just one of those things that will happen.

A good wheel repair shop or custom painter/body shop etc. should be able to match the existing paint on the rest of the wheel perfectly. I'd let them make an attempt to repair the wheel and if they can't get it right have them replace it as a last resort. You might want to get it in writing first so that there are no potential problems down the road.

This is why i cant stand letting anyone else do anything on my car. ha. Tell them to buy you a brand new wheel and you will take it to someone who knows what the hell they are doing to get it remounted.
