I went in, and he gave me an estimate of $300 and I don't know if that's a rip off. I went to Wheel Thing on Broad Street in Philadelphia since its a block from the college I goto and the guy estimated $85 or maybe a little more. I've seen Bentley's and S55 AMG's getting their rims put on there so I don't think they are crappy but again what do I know. Any input would be appreciated.

Is it roled lip ? i have 2 rims bent .. and 3 place told me that they couldnt repair it because i have an air space between the tire and the exterior lip.. like (). One guy told me that he maybe can cut the lip and remachine a new one.. but it was expensive.. give us some news and picture if you repair them !!

They do an amazing job. Just remember, you get what you pay for. As far as the other place you went to, do they sell wheels and just so happen to do minor repair on the side?

I really do not know the extent of the place the sells wheels. I went there and the guy told me that they do repairs.

I had the same issue with 2 rims and went to a place in Fairfield NJ, the guy wanted about $200 each and someone on this forum had recomended the place... in the end i just went and bought 2 new wheels at $250 ea. only $100 more for both and i have new wheels.
