Question Know anyone in Houston that can repair wheels?

I'm looking for a good place in Houston that can repair wheels for a good price. Basically take care of some curb rash, and repolish aluminum WS6 wheels. Any idea how much it might cost per wheel? Let me know.

Yes. Call and ask for Eric at the Discount Tire off of Mason Road and I10. He can get you hooked up with someone that does a great job. Tell him I sent ya .

It isn't cheap, but the finished product is nice. If you don't want to do that just take a file and lightly file down the rash (with the tire off, ofcourse). It might be cheaper to buy new wheels though, depending on how many and how bad they really are.

All 4 have rash, it's not that bad. I don't think a file would fix it. I was planning on trading my zr1's for the wheels I'm talking about. I was just wondering how much it would cost to fix them. If it's too much I won't even trade the guy. Just trying to get a ballpark price.

i think it would be better to wait and get a set in perfect condition. it costs too much $ IMO to "fix" rims. i think it would prob be at least $100 each.

$100 each you're right. i might as well get a new set. I'd get them fixed if someone could do it for $50 each. Hopefully someone knows a place that can get me a good deal. At least just to fix the curb rash.

www.fixrim.com

Just buy a set off someone online. It'd be way cheaper.
