Unhappy oh...............no.............

ah well, I let someone drive my car and they ended up scraping my rim, a volk GT-C rim, scrap is about six inches and it doesn't look pretty. What a sad day, any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Check this out, www.wheeltechnologies.com

one of the member havabooz just got his wheels powdercoated black by them recently. He said cost is 125 per wheel and that includes fixing any bends and unmounting and remount and balance tires AND shipping back to you. Sounds like a good deal, I bid they can do something about your rim. Sorry to hear about your rim, hope this help.

Have them buy you a new rim, that is what I would do.

They can be fixed but the finish will not me the same.

The clear coat process of Volk rims cannot be duplicated here.

My friend bent his LE-37T and they got fixed but the clear coat was not half the brightness as it was before.

I would make your friend buy you a new rim.

Tell them that's the cost for driving your car, lesson learned.

The bible says an eye for an eye, so you should give him a 6 inch gash in his leg.

Never ever lend your car. If anybody wants a test drive send them to the dealer. However if it is a really good friend get a new rim , lend him your car and start allover again.

If the person was a real friend or decent human being, that would have insisted they replace it with a new wheel (without you having to suggest it). Pick better friends.

I would be just as upset a friend let me down as much as the damage to the wheel. I value friends because in life you dont really get too many real ones.

anyone want to cut me a deal on a volk gtc rim? It's okie I will probably get a new rim. I am more fortunate than him and I couldn't let him buy me a new rim even though he insists. I guess we will look back at it and just laugh about it in the future. actually i think it makes my Z look tougher?
