Wheel Repair : Before & After Pics

Here are some 15" Weld racing wheels I am fixing for Shanker on here. I will also be doing the valve cover for his Honda powered Mini Cooper.

One wheel is curbed a bit and the other is really bad:

Now here it is finished. About 6 hours into it. Cleaned, 180, 240, 400 greasless compound then Black, brown rouge and finished with wheel polish and sealer.

holy crap what he do ? a burnout on rims alone

could you do my rims? they have some curbage…one is also bent/cracked…can you fix that? if not its fine ill buy a new one…

Wow that looks great

You work on wheels?

How much would you charge to strip my 5Zigen’s and respray them?

I have some curbage too…but they are straight and not bad wheels…the biggest thing is the clearcoat is peeling.

PM me if you’re interested.

nice work man, how much to rough up a set of wheels and spray them for me? :rofl

6 lug mini? i missed something didnt i?

i’m guessing 2 diff vehicles, 15s wouldn’t even fit in the wheel wells of a mini with tires on them.

Post prices dude

Everyone wants you to get their jumpoffs ready for spring !

Wow, nice work man. Curious to see how the really bad one comes out. Keep us posted.

I cant fix the bend but the crack I MIGHT be able to weld/fill and file down if you want me to try I will but i cant guarentee it will balance out.

Yeah I could do that for you np. PM coming at ya.

Same deal, PM coming.

Yep, those are 15X10’s they would have a tough time under a mini! lol they are for hsi fathers car.

Me too :ninja they are rough! lol

I would like to keep that to PM/verbal atm. Just becasue it really depends on how much work I gotta do and how bad they are. If it were justs a blast, slight repair and respray I would say about $60 or so a wheel. And that is really cheap, there are alot of time and materials there.

I hear ya on that.

I meant - “post how much certain jobs go for that you are posting pics of (ballpark)”

You seem to be more than fair with your rates

How would you fix a bend in a lip? I have a set of hx wheels, where one has a slight bend in the lip, but it still holds air fine.

block of wood/hammer

Thats kinda what I was thinking, I just didnt want to haul off and beat the shit out of it.

what wheels are we talking about here? both of the sets in your sig I would have no issues with beating with a hammer

:retardclap I doubt you seriously give a shit, but I have like 4-5 sets of wheels for the Civics. I sold the white ones, and bought a tv :lol

Aluminum, especially cast aluminum wheels or anything for that matter dont like to bend. Of if they bend one way, they sure as shit wont like going back the other way or they will just crack. Aluminum isn’t very malleable.

you can try to beat it or pry it somehow but chances are it will just break.

respond to pm :frowning:

just a sec… lol busy here at work haahhaa.
