Saw some older threads on here with not many answers.

Does anyone know anyshops in the Philadelphia metro area that can repair/refinish wheels AND powdercoat? I really dont feel like dragging wheels from shop to shop.

If not who does a decent wheel repair job for less than an arm/leg?

Martin @ LPC can do it depending on the severity of the damage. do you have photos?

Got Insulin?

There's a spot out by west chester that does it all.... The name's escaping me, and they are like an hour from Philly, but they do great work at a great price. I'll PM you if I can remember the spot...

Hmmm I was looking at LPC for powdercoating.

I have some curb rash that needs fixed an some small chips.

Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair (http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/)

They can come to you and do the wheel repair. They can do paint, but if you want to powdercoat them then maybe get them fixed by these guys and then have Martin at LPC powder coat them.

Another option is Hot Rodz Powder House (www.hotrodzpowderhouse.com) in Egg Harbor City, NJ

They should be able to repair the wheel and powder coat it in house.

I've used Wheel Collision as posted above by Got Insulin? for a couple of different wheel repairs/refurbishments over the years, they do everything wheel related in house. I was always at least 100% satisfied; the last set of multi-piece wheels they refinished for me a little over a year ago turned out so much better than I expected I'd say I was 150% satisfied. About 10 years ago they did a set of stock DSM wheels for my GS-T that looked a lot worse than the wheels in the pics above and they fixed them perfectly, but what can be done partly depends on wheel materials and construction. If you call them, ask about local pick-up and drop-off since they have a truck that comes to several businesses in the Philly area...or at least they did as of last year.

Ah thanks! I will look into this.



Nick thanks too, I spoke with them yesterday but since they are so far and they close at 5. I would have to ship 5 wheels to them, he gave me a ballpark of $220 per wheel. That plus shipping I would sooner buy a new set of wheels as these aren't that rare or valuable.
