my friend told me filling up the curb damage with Bondo and painting is a quick/cheap solution. I will be trying this when I paint my rims.

$700??? holy crap!

I just had all 4 of my stock 19" rays powdercoated gloss black for $580 - that's including tires mounted & balanced and put back in the car. They did a great job!

USA Wheels in Fairfield, NJ. They get CRAZY busy though, so call ahead.

I also heard good things about Liquid Powdercoating in PA.

How long did this take?

And who worked on your rims?
Anyone in particular I should talk to first?

You could try Al's Hubcaps in Mineola; I went there to get my wheels powdercoated, and they also fixed some minor issues with the wheels, too.

lies, those wheels were flawless.

but yeah, I have my nismo wheel at Al's right now getting fixed for major curb rash from a drift fail on my behalf. Picking it up today. $135 to fix the rash and repowdercoat the wheel matte black.

hehe lol, no they held up well, it was just some really deep rash on 75% of the outer edge. no bends, no cracks, no other damage... forged wheels ftw.

but considering it costs $120 a wheel just for a simple powdercoat, 135 for fixing a rash and powdercoat + balance, isnt so bad

Flawless... that's what that post-op tranny hooker told me last week. Thankfully I didn't believe Jeff, and just went home alone.
