Sent my rims off to [rimpro.com](http://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) ![http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0026.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0026.jpg) Before After ![http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0030.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0030.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0033.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/Rims/dsc_0033.jpg) 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 ---

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 ---

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

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.
