Default Wheel Damage

i had a couple of minor wheel rash from parking too close to the curb. a friend turned me on to a shop in Anaheim, CA that will repair, polish, chrome, etc. wheels at very reasonable prices. to repair the road rash, they dismounted the tire, put the wheel on a lathe and turned the edge so you would hardly notice the difference, remounted the tire, rebalanced and charged me $35. i asked about Chroming the wheel and they would chrome a wheel for about $125 each. pretty inexpensive compared to the outrageous price the dealer wants for a set of chrome wheels. it took 1-2 days for the repair.

the shop is Al ReedPolishing, Inc. 714 632 3907
