So I curbed up a wheel pretty good. The wheel is straight and true but the lip of it is nicked up beyond belief. I tried a quick search but couldnt find any reputable shops local to bucks County or around the Philly Area. Please help!

Dan00313 · 08-09-2009, 10:04 AM

Dan00313 · 08-09-2009, 04:47 PM

steel fabricators in huntingdon valley. excellent work & reasonable rates. every time I got here they have lots of high end wheels they are mid refinishing, like BMW M series wheels, Mercedes S class wheels, etc. . .

carlson's - they have done them in the past for me, i am unsure if they do them or sub them out but either way it came back to me perfect. there is also a shop off of new falls rd.next to king cateres in levittown/bristol that do them aswell, i am unsure of the name though. they are next to east coast t-top.

ughh i dont like carlson..i had my car at nesh auto body after an accident and had a bad experience with both, neshaminy auto body and carlsons..the rim that they had sent to carlsons, when it came back it was repainted and it wasnt even close to matching, it was a gunmetal to begin with and they painted it almost like a grey, and also they rechromed the lip and idk what they did but the chrome was soo dull..and it took them like 3 weeks to do a crappy job..

I just gave my wheel to Wheels America to get fixed. they pick up your wheels and drop off. i'll update to how it came out when i get it back tommorrow. * just as a side note, my wheel is a Work Equip 17x8 if it matters at all.

emdot · 08-14-2009, 06:37 PM

hey, not sure if you still need this done but i got my rim back from Wheels America. I only asked to fix the bend but the ended up disassembling them( 3 pc), re-cleared the face, and re-polished the lip. i had some curb rashes on it and they did a stand up job fixing the rim. here some pics of it:

and this is where is was bent:

full-cruise · 08-20-2009, 02:59 AM

damn that wheel looks good. what did they charge you to bring it to this finish?

emdot · 08-20-2009, 06:59 PM
