Any 3 piece wheel shop repair suggestions or wheel repair shops?
Got some curbed outer lip SSR SP1s. Any suggestions on shops or how to fix? So far I've been told that I would have to get them weld filled and slightly reshaped. Its really only the outer lip thats been curbed
I also been quoted all over the place for fixing 2 wheels from: 3piece.us - $1200 Southern California Wheel Repair - $180 |

A wheel shop will repair the existing barrels by sanding/smoothing/welding new material |

If the damage is cosmetic only, a good wheel shop can fix it up without needing to worry about impact to wheel strength If the wheels are damaged badly (bent or cracked) or needs welding, it depends on your risk tolerance and trust of wheel shop to make the repair. Even after repair, you should always regularly check the wheel to see if cracks form. If you don't trust the repair, replace the barrel For the damage on the wheel you showed, it seems cosmetic only |
