I fell victim to the pothole monster. Thought I came out unscathed when I checked my front wheels. A few days later, discovered it was the rear driver side that took the damage. The lip is bent and air leaks.
Any suggestions on a fix? Anyone used or heard of Wheels America? They charge a flat fee of $129/wheel. The cost also includes powdercoating. I may consider sending all 4 in for a flat black center.

anyways the reason why i say they are ok is because the bent is still a little visible to me because i know where it is and the paint job quality isn't that great. the color a little off, its like a slightly different shade. all in all i would give them a 7/10. well i guess i cant judge all the franchise shops out there, but the one where i went to was in Union city CA. BTW good luck!

i got my front passenger ce28 fixed by wheels america and i would have to say that they are ok... what happened was the lip got bent pretty bad like the shape of a V from me skidding into a curb. i brought it to them and got it fixed for about $200.

Other than the match how was the quality of paintwork/powdercoat? Any running, flaking, orange peel, etc.?

They definately powdercoat all of their wheels because I know my GTS and the TE37 are. Also, mine has not scratched at all on the powdercoat, so I know for sure they have been. Also, when I ordered them, Rishie told me they were powdercoated.

unfortunately, no. I can get tires but I need to get my fenders rolled. My rims are in houston at my house and I'm in san antonio for college. So I'm going to have to roll the fenders in SA, then go to houston to get tires and have it all mounted. Problem is finding a weekend or I have to wait till spring break. So hopefully it wont be too long, but spring break at latest I think.

OK so I am completely angry and frustrated,,,
I am looking for somplace to order the black anodized fasteners that come with just about any two piece Volk/Rays wheel... I have contacted Mackin Industries directly, contacted just about every vendor on here, even some inside people,,, No one will sell me a new set,,,
I currently have the chrome/plain fasteners on two of four wheels and are trying to get all black finish fastener bolts, Ive even gone to a Metrics Co. and they dont have anything close...
I cannot believe that these are unobtainable and its just a 'tuff ****' situation,,, If anyone has any help or any way of secure 40 fastener bolts that have the same dimensions as the ones on our wheels please, please PM me...
This is rediculous that not a single inside source can lead to a result...
If there is anyone who would even like to trade thier black fasteners for some polished/chrome fasteners that would be helpful too...
