hey so im picking up these rims from someone i know and 2 of them have some curb rash...

question is is this easily repairable? i am goign to be painting them darker anyways so i dont mind about that... are there places that do this repair that anyone knows of?

i live in MN and WI so try to keep that in mind for that part of the question

thanks a lot!

 

call a local tire shop and see if they know of any places that work on rims in that regard. they probably have a place already where they send rims to get fixed.

when i got a tire recently from a shop in my town, one of the dudes working there commented on my curb rashed rim and told me of this place where they send customers wheels to get resurfaced and ****. he then told me he used to have a 1998 A4 1.8T, in which he blew the motor..... and he said all this crap about his upgraded turbo... i asked him what kind of turbo he put in, he replied with "k&n"


i ran to my car screaming and locked the doors...and drove away.........screaming....

 

yeah k&n in the place of his turbo probably wouldnt put up too good of numbers LOL hahaahah

sucks though

you can always DIY, it's not too difficult but definitely rewarding:

you got a pic of your rims compmanben?

 

check out my pictures of the rims that i repaired my self in about hour a wheel. Very rewarding at the end and you spend aprox 30 bucks total

 

not a recent picture anyway, I've painted them twice since I did the curb rash repair.. heh

 

Here are a couple links I found for curb rash removal. Same technique in both articles, but different wheels. It's really surprising how well this removes curb rash.

Look up a company called Quicksilver - they have a place in Glens Falls NY and may have other locations. The other one that comes to mind is www.fixrim.com - I've heard a lot of good press about them over the years.

 

dude, just drive down and i will do them for a couple cases of beer, i did a set of b5 s4 wheels, b5 rs4 reps and b7 rs4 reps.... all except the b5 rs4's were bad, and i made them look good... did the s4's kind of flat black the b7 gloss black and b5 gunmetal....


other than mounted this is my only b5 rs4 pic
