I have a set of Brabus monoblock VI replicas and bent one the other day. It is also cracked where the bend is.... the place that I nomally deal with for fixing rims said they dont do that kind of repair due to liability issues. Does anyone know where to get a single rim for cheap? or know of a good wheel repair place near san francisco? they are 19s

Thanks in advance

I had one of my rears welded .. it was also bent and cracked but I had it bent back, welded, polished + silver painted near the crack so that noone can ever tell , also it balanced out perfect. i knew a guy who did the job for $40 but I dont know what happen to him, lost connections. :(

im sure you can get it fixed though.

I've got a pair of cracked carlssons and I'm looking to get them repaired too. I did a quick search and it seems like there are several good reviews for Rite-Way Wire & Wheel Specialists in Walnut Creek, CA. The guy only takes cash and will repair most stuff for $120 total which includes mounting and balancing. It's kind of pricey but it's worth it if they do a good job.

here is a link to a review: http://boxsters.addr.com/wheel_repair.htm

Another highly recommended place is Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara. I heard you get better service if you physically go there and do drop off and pick up. They too will run in the $120-140 per rim range. http://www.wheeltechniques.com/

I hope this helps.
