i curbed my rim today :( ... its a 18x7.5" +40 velox vx-6 ... anyone have an extra.. or can recomend a repair... the damage is limited to the lip

Dam brother! Sorry to hear, I have Velox too! But I forgot what they are, and I can't get another one either. Check my profile for the pic. :D There is a shop here in the bay area that can repair rims for 100.00 and up. I will get the name and post it later.

:cry: I noticed today, that Van's left rear had a pretty good bend in the lip, wonder if thats new or what? What a total bummer, no wonder i have 16's 8)

here you go. Wheels America 1-888-434-9746 Located in LA, San Fran, San Antonio, Houston, and other places I forgot. Call them and they can help you out. I hope this helps :D

I posted a link in another thread on this same subject. Do a search. It's a DIY job.

Damn, I'm glad this is here. I bought my bro the 18" racing hart c5's less than a month ago and he rubbed the ____ out of em last week. Good thing this place is in LA. Is it a real easy job cuz there's no way it's a DIY for me.

have n-e pics??? how bad is it?

Who are you talking to Mr scion? If it's me, I'll try and get pix. It's bad, practically the entire circle. F#kn stoners

I had the same problem with my Axis spiders. The lip had a badass ding in two spots, I found them when I bought my xb. Whoever test drove the car before was faded. Absolutely not fixable!
I asked a company called United Wheel Techs about the damage and found that I had to replace the wheel. Luckily I got em' no charge through my dealership. If the damage is to severe, attempting to repair it will just be a waste of time. The integrity of the wheel will be sacrificed. I was happy to buy new anyways, no worries I call it a full size spare!

Wheels America (http://www.wheels-america.com) does an awesome job repairing and refinishing wheels...
depending on the damage, it's normally under $150 or so per wheel.

both of u that curbed your rims

Anyone know a place near Culver City where I can get my rim repaired. I have 2 knicks on it due to the curb.

Thanks

Ouch man, that sucks.

I have the same problem but need a place in Santa Barbara

I say DIY. If it's only scuffed, work it out with some wet sanding then re polish/clearcoat it. If it could cost up to 150 bucks you'd be better off replacing it with new. But that's me.
