whoa!!!!!!!! what are the sizes and do you have a full picture of them on the car??? I have the same wheels and Discount Tire messed my first set up by scratching the lip and me and the tire place tried to find someone to fix these wheels and NOONE.... (including calling WORK for their input on a good shop) guaranteed they could fix the lip exactly like Work originally did due to it being a anodized polished lip. Do you have any updated pictures on this wheel fixed?? im really looking forward to an update being that i have 2 sets of these wheels now....old scratched set and new flawless set and i wanna get the other set fixed.

he wassup pearlite TL.. I have 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the rear. I will have an updated picture later today when I pick up my wheel from my friend. (He went to get it for me since Im at work all day." But if you in Los Angeles, I took it to Fast Forward Wheels in Monterey Park. My friend said he couldnt even tell it was bent. As far as the scratches if you dont need it bent, I had my lips repolished a while ago really cheap at a place that all they do is polish metals. I just took my wheel to them and the next day they had it ready for me. Again if you in Los Angeles or near then PM and ill give you the info of where to get it done. Imma take my wheels back soon to get touched up. But the scratches is not a huge deal as long as its not deep scratches and no grinding is needed. Feel free to contact me.

Yea i would have to say that these wheels have some alright "deep" scratches. They didn't use any type of bushings on the wheel machine when installing the tire so it resulted in many scratches. I just had talked to MANY shops about getting them fixed and noone could guarantee the final finish because it was almost impossible to make it look like the original finish. Anyways thanks for the great info and i definitely would like to see some pictures!!!

As for how they scratched your lips id mkae them buy me new rims. If they were careless in their own install process then you should demand that they re-buy you the ones the ruined. Even though it might be fixable it just isnt the same since you brought them brand new rims to install that they ruined.
Interested to know what happens. Keep us posted on the outcome.

wow 9.5 =30 in front. Interesting cuz I wanna move my back wheel up the the front.. its a 9.5 +35. And i wanna get 10.5 +30 in the rears. Imma look more into that.
Well anyway here the pics of my repaired wheel. Cant even tell where the bends were. Super happy with the job Fast Foward Wheels did. They didnt even crack the anondized lip and have to re-polish. Awesome job! 2 thumbs up.

hey wassup princelybug. It was 115 to take out all the bends. And it doesnt matter if there was 20 bends or just 1. Theyll take em all out for the same price. did a good jop of shining em up for me too. Next step in a few weeks imma take off all four rims to take to get the inner lips all polished out. So it has a fat polished lip on the inside as well. Ill post pics After I do that also.
