dependin on wha u need, i know of some spots. if its a dent in the rim, theres a spot on 155st and st nicholas place, not ave (its before you hit the bridge to go to yankee stadium) the place is located next to a fried chicken spot. the guy is good but a bit pricey, but i think he's reasonable. if you dont like that dude, you can drive down jerome ave in the bronx and you will find a spot that does it, i just cant remember where. as a last resort, i bought a rim from an internet site.....wheelsamerica.com (i think) they can repair rims and powder coat them again for you. the only thing is that they are located in Long Island somewhere. if you need some more help PM me. Easy...

That's without trade-in of your old bent wheel. Their work is such that the wheel you'll buy looks brand new.

$165 is way cheaper than what I had paid to get mine repaired . . . just to get rebent again a month later.

I hear that mobilewheelrepair.com is good, but the local franchise or should I say the franchisor down here blows donkey nuts because he never returned any of my phone calls. Pretty sad when your franchisees have to make you look good, but I digress.

Smile I sent you a PM...

I have a 2005 TL rim in new condition for sale. It has a minor scratch on the side where my wife scuffed the curb.

Let me know if you guys want it. You can pick it up for $50.00.







Let me know...

There is a guy that does it in Freeport, Long Island (Nassau County) that charges about $75 to fix the rim. Takes about a day and I've gotten 2 rims fixed from him, you might wanna give him a shot.
