Curb rash repair
 
Anybody have any experience doing this? Or can recommend any shops that can?

Thatruth2001 09-27-2013 04:36 PM

NW Wheel Craft $135 dollars. Just took care of some work on the enkei rims. Also they come to you.

For just 1 wheel or for all wheels needed?

Thatruth2001 09-27-2013 06:05 PM

One rim. Once you are a customer it is $100 per rim thereafter.

I have heard good things from others (people I trust) about them. I spoke to them for over an hour on their wheel repair process. In my case, after hosing one of my RT5's, I wanted a perfect repair (which I plan on doing still since my other 3 RT5's are un-damaged.. Speaking of, these are for sale since I have another set on my car now :)). The gentleman who owns the shop will chemically strip the wheel in a tank (most shops I called wouldn't do this), do the actual repair (true and balanced), then repaint to match your existing wheels.

I realize your repair is just a curb rash, but this gives you an idea of how they take care of you. They are a small operation doing "attention to detail" work. Honestly, the other shops I called in the area were rushing me over the phone and I got a generally "bad feeling" from them.

Thanks for the heads up. My damage is a little more than curb rash. I'm going look into these guys with your recommendation. Thanks!

Seconded. I had a set of SSR Comps on my first Miata and I ground one of them into a curb. As they were, IIRC, $350+ wheels I took the damaged one to Skip. There was no way you could tell it was ever damaged when he got through with it.

Chen 10-04-2013 03:50 PM

Thanks. I have emailed them and have yet to hear back. I'm gonna just end up going in and seeing what they say.

Chen 03-05-2015 02:51 AM

Just upping this old thread. Anybody use anybody recently? Looking to touch up the enkeis and resell them.

Chillyairplane 03-06-2015 12:39 AM

If you shoot up to drift office anytime soon, my buddies @ Seattle wheel service in Kent are top-notch. Had some gnarly rash on my stocks, few dollars and a couple hours later and I couldn't even tell there was any rash. Good excuse to come up north!

Unless they are high end enkeis, I would just sell them. Say its 150 to fix them, do you paint them after? 100ish to paint one? and you expect it to match? not worth it, just cut your losses and sell them as is.

There's a guy who quoted me 85 per wheel to repair, paint and they come to you. I might take him up on that offer. Was just reaching out to see if anybody had any other experiences in the area.

My wife sent a lot of tesla owners to wheelkraft. I believe it was $400 all four with paint. Not bad.

Heard/seen a lot of good reviews. I tried to reach out to them again recently. But they suck at communicating.

Any update Chen? I just curbed one of my Enkei's and am now looking to get it repaired. Nothing major, just a couple scratches.

Still nothing. I've called multiple times and they tell me to email them the photos of the damage. Then hear nothing back.

Chen 04-08-2015 02:42 AM

I reached out to NW wheel repair. Idk how their quality is. But he quoted me 85 per wheel.

Dvipercop 04-08-2015 05:07 AM

I was thinking about giving them a try if Skips doesn't pan out

Dvipercop 04-14-2015 04:47 AM

Any guess what the estimate for this repair would be? ;)

What the heck happened?

Dvipercop 04-14-2015 01:14 PM

Some guy was trying to make his turn light at 162/Glisan. I don't know if he didn't see me or what, but I saw him coming at Mach 3 in my mirror and braced for impact. He swerved at the last minute and his front right wheel hit mine. He had steelies, so he won. I hope it's just the wheel, but I didn't have a chance to look at the LCA or anything underneath.

FR-Ser_Vo 04-15-2015 11:01 PM

I also used Wheel Kraft NW. They had me meet them at the BMW dealer in Salem. $110 a wheel. I would use them again.
