    Default bent rim

    as a few of you may know I have a set of 15" oz racing fittiapldis. one rim has a slight lateral(sp) (sideways) bend in it. I thought it was just simply out of balance until I saw it spinnig on the emissions dyno. is there any shops in the mcdonough or powder springs area that can fix the rim and how much do you think it would be?

    thanks in advance.

    Alloy Wheel Repair. 770-652-9991. I was told they are reasonable and sometimes will come to you. If you check them out, let me know cause I got a small bend in my 4 month old rim and will be getting it fixed soon.

    Sucks about the paint guy! I wish I had alittle more time in the booth! I've been getting taught how to paint from a guy my dad knows, which is a pro at painting, and I've helped with a few cars painting hood, etc... Just practice.. But I'm by far not a pro, but I wouldn't consider myself bad! I'm painting so rims for a fellow member(jcs) and he thinks I'm pretty good!
