OEM wheel damage by curb

Hi All,
I damaged 2 wheels by rubbing on the curb... The scratches are pretty long... My car is a lease so I guess I will have to get it fixed...

I'm in Montreal. Does anyone know a place to get the wheels repaired? Also, what kind of result should I expect once repaired?

Thanks

That sucks. I don't know of any in the Montreal area, but I know of a pretty competent repair shop I used to do business with for bent rims back in the day in Levis, just south shore of Quebec City. Just holla if you're willing to drive there.

Pretty kool. It's only an hours and a half drive... Let me know the place...

By the way, the wheels aren't bent, the're scratched like there's no tomorrow...

Luc, it's PolyMag in Pintendre (Lévis). They're located on Rte Kennedy. Their phone # is (418) 833-4594. I suggest you call them to explain your problem first, and ask them what you'll have to do (ie, get your wheels & tires uninstalled), as well as the time it'll take them to get the job done.

Good luck.

Hey, if you have a dremel too; try using that with a polishing tip & metal polish before having wheel repaired. You may be able to get most of it out this way. Otherwise expect to pay $100-$125/wheel.
