Dara, he can fix them on the car or off the car.

Joeker, you got PM, I'm not going to explain to you on here, why there is a reason you pay $25 for work, and you pay money for quality work on a guy whose known on all different forums. Also, I never called you "cheap", I just said if you want to be cheap then go to your source. I apolgize if I didn't word it correctly but Can you prove the quality of your guy? By all means, show us, is your guy mobile and will come out to you? Whats the turn around? The turn around of son tran is same day 2 hr or less. Search the internet.

If you have a problem with me, PM me and we will straighten it out. Thank you.

joeker, so how was this place you ended up taking it to? I'd also be interested in seeing some pics of the work done.. possibly a before/after. I assume it's a place in socal? I got my first bit of curb rash the other day and am looking to take care of it this weekend. maybe you can PM me name/number/location of this place?

and to the OP, thanks for the great info! may end up using your guy soon.

I was quoted $100 to fix a bent wheel.

Looks like quality work to me...

ItsChris:.... hey AristoPra's cousin here... Any chance you can get the info where he sends the wheels to get fix? We've been to many shops even RBMotoring and they won't fix the wheel. I guess not worth it for the price anyway. Its pretty badly damaged. Its a true 3pc weel and the whole entire lip would need to be replaced I guess.... Found some pictures. Here's how bad it is.

^^^ I know wheels america would be willing to fix it. They would get you a new lip and when I went in with a similar situation they quoted me for $250

ItsChris 03-24-10 08:01 PM

Yo masagsxr, dayam man, thats bad lol..Only thing you can do is reorder an outter lip and thats pretty much it. Hopefully the face (structurally) isn't damage. If it isnt, Im sure all you have to do is reorder an outter lip w/barrel.

What is the address for NEW YEARS WHEEL and POLISH in Santa Ana?

$25 a wheel is a great deal

I can't even tell where the damage spot were before :eek2:.
I highly recommend Son. Just give him a call wayy ahead of time. He's very busy. I waited a week before he can get to me. It was well worth it.

Dude, you hit an elephant or something?

The pricing sounds pretty good, should keep him in mind.

i can vouch for New Years Wheels. the did my wheels and fixed them up really well. They are great at repairing lips. 75$ from Son is a deal too!
