Curb rash repair

[Chen]

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

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]

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

I tried reaching out. No luck....

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.

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

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

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.
