Mr. Darkjustice Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 i was wondering if there is any place at all in michigan that will do a outer rim repair. i took a pothole and lost 2 tires and ended up with 2 rims with an indent no wider than 1/4in on the lip.

audiofanaticz Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Is it an aluminum or steel rim. I know I checked countless places around me and researched the net a bit, and always seen that steel rims can be bent back to shape, but an aluminum rim will just break out, or crack, and you cant really heat the aluminum hot enough to bend it straight without it melting (around 800-1500degrees F) depending on the alloy. Edit: if its a stock wheel (steel or aluminum) your best off just going to a junkyard and buying a new one for $20-$50. But if its an aftermarket bling bling rim, and it still hold air, I wouldnt mess with it honestly. I wouldnt take the chance having someone claim they can fix it, heat it up and melt it beyond the point of it ever holding air again, and messing up the chrome plating or polished finish. My $0.02cents worth is done

BeatBox Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 pics? i wouldnt mess with it unless its a problem or VERY noticeable, theres a shop near here that send them out when they are cracked to get fixed, they prob can do it. $90 to fix it....but shipping it to the shop and back to you wouldnt be worth it personally
Tek Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I know a girl whose dad owns a wheel shop in Melvindale. I can ask her if they fix rims. If I remember correctly, she told me a story about how she messed up one of her rims and her dad fixed it relatively easily. I go to school with her, so if I run into her tomorrow, I can ask.
BeatBox Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 yeah theres also a guy that fixes wheels around here, outta his garage but havent seen him in a while. he usually drops by work(discount tire) every once and a while
