    Wheel Repair

    I'm thinking about purchasing a set of SVTPP wheels, however, two of them have road rash. Anybody know a good wheel repair shop... and what something like this would cost? Thanks!

    Got a buddy that fixes wheels. It would be cheaper to just buy a new wheel than fix that.

    I just talked to a neighbor who had similar damage to a wheel on her Benz and it cost $110.00 to fix, which is a lot cheaper than buying a new one. Not sure of the name, but it's somewhere in Bridgeville. She's looking for the number... Anyone else? Thanks

    you can do it yourself with a dremmel tool and the correct attachments. Grind slowly and contour, then fine sand and buff. Takes a bit of time but is an easy DIY project.

    Are you looking to keep the same color? Those will be an easy fix, rash doesn't look to bad.
    I would be around 120.00 to fix and coat those.
