yah talk to The Wheel Supply out in Walnut, they did a buddy of mines. Sanders is the guy to talk to over there. He will tell you if its worth fixing or not and give you a price. Be prepared to spend over $100..

if you go to tws, tell sander you know justin in ohio

might help the price a tad, but you get what you pay for

and you pay a decent amount there, but get fantastic work done

check your lca to see if it's been piched and your crossmember

if its anything like this

take the tire off and bang it wit a hammer, Enjuku racing fixed it at a track in like 5 mins, so props to them and their hammer wielding mikey

that looks the same as mine, if not less worse, mine was missing the metal, this place called, precision wheel works, in sacramento, fixed it for about 120 bucks but came out pretty nice, the only thing i didnt like u could tell if u really really stare at it for a minute., ull notice a metal differance, but not bad knowing that my rims was totally screwed

HyperTek · 10-22-2005, 12:36 PM

so they where able to weld on metal? I had a friend who took out a decent size of the lip.. and another with worse damage and Sanders @ TWS said it could cost $140 but no telling how its gonna come out.

SimpleSexy180 · 10-22-2005, 05:56 PM

Oh and my wheel kind of does look like that but its more pinched in and not as long.
