Yo whats up guys. I have a road rashed 9 MR BBS rim that i need repaired... Anybody know of a good place in the Philly area that i can get that fixed at. The wheel weight is also slightly bent and the edge of the rim is compressed about 1mm or less. Its not that bad but its kinda noticeable. Thanks!

I thought it would be a good idea to drive into a curb
Got the wheel realigned today ($60) Rim was bent so the guy swapped it to the back. (got rid of about %95 of the wobble)
Went to a place called RimPro. Said would be about ($150-$180) to fix.
I took some pictures and ill post them once my friend uploads them.

Dave, I just posted a wtb thread up for you. I added your sn to the threadf. Hopefully, someone will contact one of us with an asking price. I think it's rediculous to pay that price if you could get a good condition one for only a little more.

Plus if you try to fix a forged aluminum rim you will be comprimising stregnth..Just try to find a used one and deal with the wobble for a bit.

Heres some pics of the damage

Excuse me for the Dirtiness but i had just got through driving 150 miles on the turnpike in the snow and slush


In this one you can really see the dent in it at the bottom (follow the rim around and at the bottom you can see its bent)












Heres the F'd Up Wheel Weight

Yeah Pete, crazy **** huh? I can't wait to get my *** out of here. It's a shame that we can't feel safe in an academic environment. There are lots of crazy people out there, and you never know who it may be.
