    Default bent lip on rims

    i got some wheels today for mad cheap. on 2 of the rims the inner lip is bent out maybe a 1/4" and each bend is about 1 or 1 1/2" long. Anybody know anyone that can fix them? I went to Kaufman and they were like its 165 a wheel.

    Wheel Wizard on P'tree industrial. look them up on google. They have a site. A TRASHED two rims on my mustang. Bent the fuck out of them and they straightened them up beautifully while powdercoating them.

    Yeah, i work for Kauffman and we use Metro Wheel and Wheel Wizard. It's probably more financially apt to cut the middle man and go directly to the source...
