    So...yeah...I took a corner too close and now suffer from slight curb rash (sorry Yia looks like you dont need to bother checking them out now :mad:) The wheels are balanced fine it just bent a few inches of the "weight ridge". Now the question is, where can I get these fixed? They have a polished lip.

    Edit: Yeah, i know I'm dumb.

    Depends on how much they cost to get fixed, If its 200 dollars than its probably better to just keep them and not fix them. The tires alone will save me a few hundred in the long run.

    Are these aluminum alloy? If so I only found ONE shop in the cities that would do it. Everybody else only did steel; nobody would touch aluminum.

    It was $175 a rim no matter what. Small dent or BIG dent (like I had) They took a pretty huge dent out of my old IROC Z aluminum wheels.

    Wish I could remember the name but I hope just the cost estimate will help you decide on what route to take. I found them by calling around to tire/wheel shops and asking if they knew of anyone who would do aluminum. Took all day but I found that one shop :)

    Good luck!

    that's not that bad.
    just use them as your winter rims.

    tkae the $$ you would spend on repairs and put it towards some new compos or something.

    p.s nice looking car man.
