Hey,
Summer tires and rims are back on today

My winters (18" OEMs) made the acquaintance of a kerb, and are now slightly kerbed on the front left.

I'd like to get this fixed now that they are not on the car anymore.

Does anyone know anywhere in the GTA where this can be fixed?
I searched the forum but found nothing.

This place in Ottawa does it: http://www.alloywheelrepair.ca/
Bit far to go though

Thanks.

 

Most of these places are going to be far from the GTA. I know Carcone's up here by my area (Aurora) do a great job of fixing wheels.

 

the q's is how much...so we can see if it's even worth it..

 

Thanks Neo....Aurora is a lot closer than Ottawa

TurboEight, below are some links to the pics I took.
Not sure if they are clear enough get the idea though.

GoesLikeStink,

Sorry my friend. I think it's equal distance from T.O.... lol

That is quite the scratch! But that's nothing compared to the damage I inflicted on the Mazda6 wheel I had.
So I know Carcone's can clean that puppy up without a problem.

When I took my wheel in it cost me $110 to fix it.

Couldn't tell it was curbed at all. And I had a much deeper gash than the small stuff you posted up.

Consider them if you want to fix that rim.

Lates,

 

how aobut it mine are powder coated?

could it still be fixed?...hmm..

 

I don't see why not. Those guys end up refinishing the wheels in whatever finish you like.
The main point is getting rid of the curb rash.

Now that I remember, he did ask me if I wanted a different paint finish or if the OEM finish was good enough. I told him the OEM finish is more than enough.

 

Thanks for the info Neo !

 

The best place to get your wheels fix is "The Wheel Fix". There website is http://wheelfix.com ... they have the best machine out there to fixed curbed wheels and the best thing is they pickup and drop off your wheel and are very competitive with cost. Give Teresa a call and schedule a pickup and free estimate. I've used them a few times and they are quick (3-4 days) and the quality is top notch. The only downside is getting a hold of them to get the pickup as they only have one driver

Cheers,

I just called Teresa, very nice lady... When i get back from Vacation I will take it over to her to get the rims redone.

 

What the hell is a "kerb"?

Is that near a "slidewalk" off the "rowed"?

 

Thanks for the info Zoomby_U.

Hey Miker...from the Oxford English Dictionary:

kerb

(US curb)

• noun a stone edging to a pavement or raised path.

— ORIGIN variant of CURB.
