Serious curb damage, repairable?

[SNKPWR]

Hoping this can be made to look like new, if not I'll be getting a new one from AM. There is a local guy that fixes rash but this is pretty severe I think.

I would say fixable by the right company. If you spend less than 200 on fixing it it prolly won't look right.

Local wheel guy charges $80, and they look like new. Probably have to get an estimate for the real number.

 

[Newman]

If the new wheel is only $150. I would do that .

 

[SNKPWR]

Yeah I'm leaning toward new wheel

Looks like you might need a little bit more rim protectant on those tires. What size are you running?

 

[SNKPWR]

275/40-18 on the fronts

These aren't HRE's. I can't see the repair costing less than a new wheels by the time they're fixed and re-coated.

I've seen much worse repaired, but yeah for the cost to repair you might as well just buy a new wheel.

Buy a new one and make a barstool out of the curbed rim. After, sit on said wheelstool and enjoy a few brews.

Quality answer!

PS have your girl check pintrest for things to do with a wheel

lmao!

 

[SNKPWR]

That's a cool idea. I had thought about making it into a garden hose reel using an old hub


Btw, replacement wheel FAIL:

 

[Go GT]

That's not a fail, that's an epic fail.

 

[SNKPWR]

True, bit only a completely different style but 17x9 instead of 18x10, and I'm pretty sure it is a 94-04 offset

 

[SNKPWR]

They got it right this time!
