My garage is getting out of hand. Looking to see if these rims can be repaired and if anyone has suggestions for repair places in the DMV. These are two different sets of rims.

 

First one looks repairable, as in a standard bend. Second one looks a little worse and am not sure if anyting can be done with it. I am no expert so don't quote me on that. There are plenty of rim places which do repair. Ye Old Wheel shop on Rt1 in Elkridge is where a few people I know have gone in the past and have had good results. I know that Smitty and Nate579(especially him) may know of a few places as well since they have had wheels repair issues.

 

You can also try wheel worx. I've taken my wheels to these guys and they've done a real good job and they dont take too long to get it done.

Ye Old Wheel shop does excellent work but they always seem to have a ton of wheels so its gonna be a quite a wait to get it done and back to you.

I have a guy I deal with he's in Odenton area. I can PM you his info.

 

i used to go to wheel worx but since going to ye old wheels shop i will stick with them... ye old wheel shop does the best work in my opinion but is usually a few dollars more than some of the others.

 

Just had these guys do some work. They came recommended from some friends that restore Ferrari's. If anyone can do it they can...I was very happy with what they did. If you send them pics they should be able to tell you, yes or no.

So I did say I have a used rim garage right? Well I posted the wrong rims. Here are the rims that need to be repaired. I think we may try Wheel Worx first. The one with the small bend is repairable I think, but according to the Wheel Worx site, they may be able to do something with the tear.

 

omg..........

 

you gotta start swerving like you're DUI... save the wheels! lol

When I drive to baltimore and certain parts of DC you may think I'm from Texas they way I swang on the streets. lol

Husband just left Ye Ole Wheel Shop. The guy told him to get two new rims. Not even worth repairing them. The cost to repair the tear he could get a brand new rim. I thought the bend would be an easy fix, but no on that one too. Guess it is up to me to find these rims now.

Thanks for all your help.

 

damn that blows...

did you talk to the korean guy who runs the place or some mechanic up there or what?? i got some contradicting info from ye old wheel shop last week by some new looking guy working up there.

 

Hmmmm....what rim is that? From the looks of the failure, the wheel's integrity does not seem very strong.

 

you must be the guy i see driving in reverse. No need to hit the brakes driving that slow.
