Anybody have pictures of before and after repairs on bent wheels?

I heard replacing the lip would be easier / cheaper (3 piece wheels)

I'll get some pictures of my wheels today. I got a flat the other day and it bent my rpf1s, going to get it fixed at Simple Wheel Werks.

Yea, 150 per wheel seems like too much.

Do you have any before and after shots of the work? How bad were the wheels before? I have some curbs that I want to repair and well and some slight oxidation.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of it before. I went to the shop yesterday to drop of my rpf1 and they had a pretty bent rim, I'm going to go back tomorrow to see how well they fixed it.
Here's the messed up rim.


Some of their work.


Custom VSXX rebarreling 19 x 15 I think..

I think Son is more of a cosmectic fixer than doing bent wheels since he has someone else to do that for him.

Thanks for the sample pics. Does anyone know if the tires need to be removed before having lips treated? Again, just curb rashes and oxidation.

Simple Wheel Werks can get your tires mounted and dismounted for cheap too.
