Wheel repair

Any reputable place around the metro that I could get my scuffed-up wheel repaired? And how much would it be? I could probably do it myself but I don't have time. TIA.

 

@TMF might know of someone.

 

What kind of wheel? If OEM or something less than a couple hundred retail, you will probably be money ahead by buying a new wheel (if still available) or searching for a used one. You don't get a lot nowadays for $100 to $200 if the service is labor intensive.

 

It's OEM for the 2015 STi launch edition (gold). I think they are upwards of 300 a piece (I could be wrong). The scuff is minor. If it's more than half to fix than, I might consider buying new.

 

Lol. I found out they run about 1K a piece for these wheels only through a special order at the dealership. Now I really need to get it repaired. lol

 

I had work done at Twin City Wheel repair in White Bear and was pleased with the outcome. I also have used Precision Wheel Services in Hopkins with the same result.

 

At $1000 each you should make a coffee table out of them and put something cheaper on the car.

 

Thanks retreif.

Lol pillboy. Tell me about it. I already have the oem set and a winter set for this car. A third set might be a little too much.

 

little too much = wheel whore. Or winter wheels, fall & spring wheels and summer wheels.

 

I too had some work done last summer at TC Wheel Repair. It was about $200 for two wheels, and they did a good job. I have the gunmetal rims so he told me that he would not be able to match exactly, but I think he did a great job matching the colors. The texture is a little rough, but they look perfect from any distance.

 

Usually if it isn't too bad I would do it yourself . Any shop is going to charge $90-$150 HR labor unless you know a guy.
