I bent a pair of rims while sliding on some ice last week and connecting with a curb. Hey..I'm from Florida. Ice goes in a cup with alcohol. And that was the extent of my experience with ice.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to take these - either in Atlanta or elsewhere to be repaired? Thx

I've used Wheel Wizard before here in Atlanta and they did a good job. It maybe cheaper to find a used rim also.

Cool - I'll check them out. How much do you think it will cost, or did you pay?

Very cool - $125 works. I wonder if they can fix the Volks since they have a chrome lip, its sort of like a two piece rim I suppose, where the chrome is rivited over the rim.

Thx for all the suggestions!

I just got one of my wheel replaced by wheel wizard last week. They charge 180/wheel.

This includes removing any curb rash/ making it spin right again/ basically refurbishing it back to how it looked like. If it needs painting, its included in the price. They re-polished mine after fixing the wheel.

Without the cosmetics, i think the price was 120.

They do very good job, one of the wheel they told me its un-repairable. So they didn't charge me anything for that one. Even though they tried there best fixing it for a day.

It's $140 now for non finish structural repairs at Wheel Wizard. Metro is $115.

Does anyone know how much Alloy Wheel specialists charge?

hehe ROTA's FTW!

I can buy a whole new wheel for that price! that will dent and curb as easily as fancy schmancy VOLKS or ADVANS. :D

Clay's Wheel Medic's. Mobile wheel repair. Cell - 770-900-0821. When I worked at the number 2 Volk dealer in the country they fixed a lot of damaged wheels and did the best work I've seen. Metro wheels can't color match for shit if your wheel needs painting.
