wheel repair - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am looking into purchasing a set of Work Emotion CR Kai. The one wheel has some curb rash. I was wondering if anyone on here(person or advertiser) does wheel repair, or if they could recommend a good place for me to sent it to for repair.

I have google searched and found multiple companies, I just want to find the right one that well refinish the wheel to like new condition. I have contacted a couple companies I have found searching on forums and the internet. I have also PM azndoc on here.

Here are pics of the wheel. (sorry about the big pics I was given, these are the only ones I have and dont have anything to make them smaller on this computer)

you can sand it down and polish.. thats what some do.. since you can not add material so its just going to get sanded down. You would loose the decals though since they are really close. i would leave it... esp if your going to drive the car, its bound to happen, and in the real world, no one cares.. since they are new wheels to you right now, you only care because your picky, but give it a month of you owning them, and you wont care. FACT lol

I have fixed curb damage on my winter wheels for my wrx. But, it was just to hide the damage after the wheel was painted. Plus, I don't think I can polish them good enough to look good. I would rather spend some money and get them done. I am pretty sure you can get the stickers from Work, if I am wrong correct me.

I am picky as shit, I will still care about it in a month. And I am not worried about curbing wheels in the future.

I can get these wheels with tires for $1200. I am not sure if I am going to buy them or not even. Still looking into the cost of new xd-9 in 4-lug.

it is possible to add material, just need to find someone willing to do it, very easy to mess up. depends how they are made too.

most places just sand and polish the lips. do it yourself. decals can be saved... just mask them.
