^^^For curb rash or any cosmetics repair, do you have to remove the tires do you know?

 

I believe so. I think the standard process is to repair the damage, sand blast off the old paint, then powder coat or repaint to match. Expect estimates in the neighborhood of 100-200 per wheel, with possible discounts for doing multiple wheels. Maybe they dont need to do as much for bends, not sure.

I had thought about getting my 2 curbed BBS wheel repaired. But the idea of spending a few hundred just to get back to prisitine stockers didnt sound too exciting. So I ended up just buying new wheels instead

 

^^^thanks for your kind help sir. i really appreciate it. good info!

 

yes you have to remove your tire... i paid 75 to get mine fixed.. 200 seems really expensive i just wish i could remeber where i took mine... it willl come to me! lol

 

I took mine to car nutz in Bellevue a couple years back and they had a 3rd party take care of my badly bent wheel. It was so bad they actually had to add material! Anyway, it was a couple hundred and I didn't have to remove the tire.

 

so any shop that you guys listed can do it. nfs please try to remember where you got it done for $75 and did they do a good job for that price?

 

theres a shop in renton called fosters wheel repair

 

btw fosters is the only place id reccommend

 

Im guessing the $75 price is just for repair (no blasting or repainting). Remember normal repairs will not likely be color matched. 'Touch up' paint is not really a good option for wheels.

 

If you can drop it off at my shop, we have a couple different wheel repair guys that strictly do business work. We can have them stop by to get a price quote for ya. No need to remove the tire either! They do all that!
