Hey guys,

i posted on a topic about this before and had a single reference in philly near the airport i believe? i forget the place, but i sent them an email with no reply back to me in a month. I need to find someone in the South Jersey area that will repair the lip on my wheel. the structure of the inside of the wheel is fine its literally only the lip that is bent out of shape it holds air etc... any help is greatly apreciated i really do like the hanabi wheels, but they are not being produced anymore so i cant pick up a spare anymore :(. btw its 17x7.5 if anyone on here actually does this.

ive gone through this and never found anyone,....no one wants to be responsible if it fails. i think your best bet is scouring craigslist/ebay for a replacement

funny thing is there are people out there that will actually take your rim cut it in half and make it wider(for a rediculious amount of money) ....yet those same people have no interest in fixing a cracked/bent lip

yeah its so weird... its not even the part touching the outer of hte tire its just something on the wheel for show to make it look like a deeper dish thats a little bent... maybe ill rubber mallet the **** out of it more.

I just recently had a cracked wheel repaired. Costed $150 to weld it, mount the tire, and balance it.

Had it done by Bergeys Tire & Auto in Doylestown, PA.

Ive never had an issue with Bergeys, theyre good people.

I don't know if it'd be worth the traveling to you but I've used this guy before and almost all of the local NTB's and such refer people to him.
