Do you know the estimate on how much it would cost?
I got one place that's going to cost me $265-300 to polish four rims and repair one.

It's a shop in City of Industry, I went to the place there and showed them in person.
Said $50 for polishing each rim and forgot how much to repair my rim. It's not too bad just bend a nip.

^^ That's way out of line. Custom Wheel Refinishing originally quoted me $375 each to do my wheels. I took it to Tru Wheel in No Hollywood and got charged $125 each.
I was originally going to take it to the shop noted below but didn't feel like driving too far from where I lived.
LAX Wheel Refinishing
(323) 269-1484
1520 Spence St
Los Angeles, CA
RB Wheels also repairs/refinishes for about $400 for a set.

To bring back this post, I've gone to FastForwardWheels and got price for my repairs.
And they also do wheel painting so I've decided to change my wheel color.
So I'll get my rims redone hopefully by next Friday.

Norm, its good if you go there in person and say Raymond recommended you and see if he can give you a deal. Usually he can't really tells you how you would want it over the phone. Best if you go there in person. Quite a drive for you but just check out his work in person.

i use capital wheels in Gardena. Had a bent lip on my 4 days old rims, and they repaired it in uhhhhh, 2 1/2 hours?
i took it to a bodyshop to paint it though because i didnt have my stocks with me and powdercoat takes a few days.
they charged me 60 bucks for the repair + 17.50 mount and balance.
didnt ask how much they charge to powdercoat though

dont think there is. when a shop fix a bent lip, they heat up the wheel and pull the bent back out, and that almost always chip the paint.........

I've had experience with TruWheel and also Mag Masters in Santa Ana. Mag Masters repaired two of my bent Work Meister S1 3-pc wheels on my S2K when my wife hit some major construction potholes and the repair came out flawless. Looked factory fresh and was about $200.

THey call him the wheel repair god. Hit him up.

he's mobile so that's why i'm wondering about how he would go about painting/powdercoating rims.
i'll still give him a call & inquire, just wondering if anyone out there has had quality work done recently and where?
thx!

Might have to give Son Tran a call. I curbed one of my wheels a while back. From what I've been reading, he's considered the God of wheel repair. And prices range from $50 - $100 per wheel if he comes to you. Cheaper if you go to him.
