I know it has been asked alot but i only thought they repaired curb rash ans painted the wheels. I wasnt sure if they could fix damage that bad |

| Ummmm personally I would replace it. Everytime i've seen a rim "repaired" the thing was still completely messed up. Visually the rim may end up ok, but it still maybe bent to hell. |

| Bah to Wheel Works...try Intech Industries. Len Feschuk's been doing wheel repair longer than anybody in Edmonton. |

| Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy one extra wheel? It's going to cost a bit to fix that up. |

I was run off the road, I had a hunk that big missing... but some how it still held air... heh The body shop(dealership) that did the work send my 2 wheels to wheelworks, and they fixed it up, I look and looked and I couldn't tell where the damage was(I didn't remember based off where the schrader was)
My rims, my cost, from dealership where $355 each... so it was cheaper than that to fix them. |

| Thats interesting, all I know is a vehicle I worked on had a rim that was "repaired". When I tryed to balance it the rim literally wobbled about a 1/2 inch as it spun... And of course the customer was wondering why there steering wheel went back and forth as they drove down the road. |

Completely, completely agree.
I had the worst curb rash I've seen from rubbing a median at about 170 km/h and when they looked at one of the wheels they basically said no guarantees at all.
Turns out one looked and balanced perfectly, and the other which was extremely bent and unrepairable, balanced out perfectly.
Highly recommend them.
With that said, I don't know if the pictured wheel is repairable. Looks messed. |
