    Anyone have repair work on their O.E.M. wheels / rims in Columbus. Have some minor curb scuffing. How much per wheel and how long a wait? TIA.

    I haven't used them either but I went to see them when I cracked one of my r112s on a pothole.

    The said the could weld the crack and roll out the dent. Price was less than replacing the wheel.

    In the end I got a wheel from CHKMINI so that fixed it.

    They had some nice cars and wheels in the shop when I was there.

    I would always buy a new wheel if anything is really cracked or bent bad.

    I don't think anyone can really fix a wheel and return it to original spec once it has been badly damaged. Plus you also have to have everything rebalanced.

    Curb rash is a different story, that just a simple sand, polish and clear coat job.

    Wheel Medic does a great job and won't repair a wheel that needs replaced. I had two straightened on the Countryman that had slight bends from potholes. They also do a good job on curb rash. I recommend them.

    We used Wheel Medic when we were trying to get Eric's 510 finished for him. They took 6 of the ugliest genuine Minilight wheels & made them new again. I recommend them too.

    Sadly, finance. The most boring job in the world.

    I need to take my one bent wheel in and see if they can do anything. Otherwise I just might have to scrap the whole set. Nobody wants a partial set of wheels, and I dont need them taking up room in my garage unless they are usable.
