Bent Wheel Repair Recommendation?

[Mitch90535im]

Can anyone recommend a Wheel Repair Service that they are satisfied with? I have a slightly bent M-Contour replica. I was going to replace it with a new one, but appearently they are no longer available.

I emailed one service in CA, but never received a reply, so I'm not likely to depend on someone for service if they will not even return an inquiry email.

I have used Transwheel (800 392 9724) in Huntington IN. and been pleased with results.

I haven't had a wheel repaired from them, but I needed some bolts for a Style 5 refinish & they had them. Only place I could find. From what I have read, they are good.

Good luck with the repair!

Fit with no issue running 265/35-18's on the rear 9" wheels

As for the wheel repair, I highly recomend these guys - SABS (http://www.damagedwheel.com/home.html) They have done a few sets of wheels for me and I know people ship wheels from all over the country to them.

I've heard horror stories about wheel America. No first hand experience though

They did a great job with my friend's AMG SLK and looked brand new. And also restored my HRE three-piece wheels for my Maserati and they came out great... I guess it depends on the tech who redo your rim?

If they are cast wheels dont even think about straightening them, they are weakened and will fail. Forged wheels will repair but very carefully by an expert with a BIG press.

Majority of wheels on the road are cast. Only the wheel repair shop got the experience to tell you if they can safely repair your wheel... They can weld those crack if it occurs.

Remember, they got liabilities on repairing wheels so they know what can be done or not.

Sketchy. Get new wheels.

[Barney Paull-Edwards]

most option factory wheels are forged and all Ronal, which is why they cost more. Welding up cracks in wheels is mad if you drive fast or hit potholes, they crack due to overstress or shock, be glad they dont repair aircraft wheels.

Wow, Very nice - PM me links to more pictures, that is gorgeous!

I was also speaking of those wheels I posted, they're staggered - I can't imagine how rare that must be. That's definately what I want.

I've used Wheel Wizard in Atlanta, http://wheelwizard.com/, a couple of times with first rate results. They even refinish the inside of the wheels which some don't. Prices are reasonable and turn-around quick.
