anyone have any recomendations on who in our area does good jobs on rims that need to be repainted...more or less to repair to oem like conditions...
very minor curb rash and scratches...
looking to have my original cobra wheels redone this winter...curious about prices and who you all recomend...
We have have done dozens of aluminum wheel repairs at Domination Chassis. we have even fixed polished wheels and brought them back to a chrome like finish
NAYLOR Tire in Belle Vernon.
I cracked a aluminum wheel on my Civic years ago. It was welded, & blended. I never had any issue with the wheel again. Wheel/tire balance were great. The wheel is still on my car.
Ill have to keep them in mind!
Thanks...
they sent one of mine out and two weeks later I got it back put it on the car and it cracked right beside the "weld"? I dont know who they had do it but -well they are great for wheels and tires but ? I learned to tig so now I fix my own. your rims are'nt cracked anyway right?
Naylor in Belle Vernon used to send their wheels out to my buddy Ric years ago, but now I think Joe has some of his highly trained employees doing the work in house. That might explain it cracking again.
Like TJ said, we do plenty of rims. If they have a crack on the inside edge its pretty reasonable but if you need face work and want it to look right there will be a good bit of time involved.
Here's one I did for my car.
wat about a lil curb rash on the lip can you fix that jay? no chunk taken out just some lip curbage
no I had that rim repaired like 8 years ago it was sent out repaired sent back"fixed" then cracked again and then lastly recycled , I got fifteen dollars for a 1994 Impala SS wheel -no one else would touch it after looking at the work done to it.

i have a bent lip on my rim... but i heard that weakens the rim once you get it repaired? true or false?
cold working aluminum is bad. You can get away with it sometimes though.
