Rim Repair Review

Sent my rims off to rimpro.com who are located in detroit/mass

they finished the repair the SAME day they recieved them and had them shipped back out that day… whole process was 4 days (2days shipping each way)

cost 130 per wheel to straighten (front wheel not pictured, hard to get a shot of the bend in the stainless lip)

340 total including shipping both ways for two rims

wow that came out real good :tup:

waaaaay better than buying replacement wheels

the wheels are now .019 out of round… tolerance from the factory is .050

so they are better then new

Glad to hear Rimpro treated you well. You should come to burnfest this year, I’m taking the wagon up :slight_smile:

my only complaint is there is a small chip in the paint on one of the front wheels that i know wasnt there when i sent them out, but i dont know about how they arrived from the shipping company when they got to rimpro… so sadly im SOL on that, just use some touchup paint

Nice my buddy’s bmw that was just totaled now has a bent front rim but developed stress cracks around the bend, is that fixable?

great to see it!

excellent!

Wow thats excellent service, nice job.

real nice man

:tup:

Will they repair if you have a chunk missing from the rim, not just dents and bends?

email them… they resopnd to email in less then 5 minutes… may want to send pics… but AFAIK welding cast wheels is a HUGE pita to get done right and most places wont touch them

huh?

Awesome job. Sucks you had to send it out. I had a similar bend in one of my wheels but luckily there was a local company that did it so it only cost me $110. Shipping sucks but better than buying a new set of wheels.
