Whats up people. I just bought some 18x8 Carlsson for $500.00 from some guy who didnt take care of it. Alot of curb rash on one rim. Do you guys know a shop that can fix it. I want to get it done locally. And how much do you guys think it will cost me? Thanks in advance.:)

Hey I was in the same siduation that you were about 3 months ago I had some Amg rims that needed repair, well I took them in to a local guy in canada, and he has repainted them 3 times and there still screwed up, the paint never hardened, I would really check out the place your going to take them too and I would suggest powder coating or chrome. I also would recomened asking around this form and the place you going to take them to see other customers wheels and how they where done.

Now your going to probally get some one on this form saying that I am too pickey and that everthing I put on here is negitive and my car is one big hunk of junk just do some searches and you will see what I mean, but honestly I am just trying to get my car as much back to stock is possible. The person that had it befor did not care about anything and did everthing the cheapest way possible now i am stuck dealing with a bunch of problems.

Anyways good luck finding some one if they do a good job let me know and i might sent my stuff there to get it done proper not some hack job like my guy did.

Not sure where you're located, but if it's the Bay Area... I'm about to take my wheels to get a quote from these 2 places:

or

I got 2 17" AMG monoblocks I need fixed also.

Hey Mark, have you had your wheels done yet? How much did it cost you? Need my BBS wheels repaired and refinished.
