Damaged my Evo 9 Enkei in the snow
I recently curbed (dented) one of my Enkei Flat Double 5 Spoke wheels on my IX. This winter I was running an old set of all season Potenza and hit some slush, sliding into a curb at about 15 mph. I was hoping to find a replacement because the damaged is pretty bad (crushed lip and minor structure damage). I found this website: http://www.wheelcollision.com/ and was wondering if anyone had any experience they could share about their service/ product. I understand that I can send my damaged wheel back to them for refurbishing but honestly there prices are what caught my eye. I don't need a brand new wheel, as the rest of the set have some light curb damage already. (thanks PO).
Many thanks. |
I used to work with a similar wheel repair company out of Atlanta. I would check online reviews and find some tire shops who offer wheel repair and see who they use. The biggest industry that uses wheel repair is the collision industry, so ask some body shops, since the repaired wheels generally have to pass an insurance inspection. Hope this helps.

You could also check the for sale section and look for a good used one. Ebay (grrrr) also has a little bit of everything too.

Well I ended up finding a replacement wheel on Ebay (re-manufacture) with a 14 day warranty for $185 shipped. So we will see how it goes. Now the question is, what do I do with the old damaged wheel.

Repair it have as a spare/ or a cool coffee table
|
That's a good idea, that would go great with my Top Gear Uk inspired engine block table idea!

Lol its always fun making furniture out of the car parts. Cams as table legs is one of my favorites.
