Does anyone know anyone around here that can fix some relatively nasty curb rash on one rim? There is no paint on it, and doesn’t need to be. I just need the gashes, de-gashed. Might involve adding some material there. I know there is tons of places that do it online, but they’re far away, and i don’t think it would be worth it to wait weeks and pay massive to ship one rim. Or is it? ---

most of the big online places can turn it around in 48 hours. You wouldn’t be waiting “weeks”. ---

It looks like a $60 repair, and shipping would be like $40+… is that the only option? I was hopeing to get it done like next week… Thursday… ---

The sooner you ship the better. Do a search, I remember Lafengas or someone else say something about a place on Broadway, but I have no experience with them. ---

I just dont think paying $800+shipping is worth it for something that would be a 30 min job for someone locally who knows what theyre doing. They say $195 for 18-19’s. And id like them to go over all 4 rims and touch up the lip, theres a little nick on 3, but the main problem is 1 is quite noticible. ---
