Will do! And don't worry, I know EXACTLY how you feel.

Here's my damage, dropped it off for repair earlier. Guy said no worries should be good as new and only $75

happytheman · 08-22-2011, 09:09 PM

Yah, I see what you mean about catching the side wall. Damage isn't too bad though! Pics when you're done wit 'em.

Glokwork · 08-22-2011, 10:01 PM

Yep it could've been worse, it should be done tomorrow but I gotta head outta town in the am for work and not sure if I'll be staying overnight yet. Definitely will post a pic when I get her back.

The wheel is being repaired out in the parking lot where I work right now!! I went inside the trailer where Mike Collard (franchisee w/ Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists) is working shortly after he began to see the damage ground super smooth! I was so happy to see the immediate progress! Running my finger along the previously damaged portion, I couldn't even feel a hint of repair!

Will have pictures posted up tonight!

Well, here's the results! I have to say this much: Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists have done a bang up job putting my wheel to rights again. Try as I might, I have not been able to see any damage whatsoever!!

For $125 I couldn't possibly be happier! Well worth the money and the two hours of my time! Kinda hard to be upset about giving your money to someone that comes to you and does such an awesome job!

Looks great! Glad to see that it all worked out to your satisfaction.

happytheman · 08-25-2011, 07:09 PM

Thanks man! Yah, I couldnt be happier. I feel at one again with my ride!

Glokwork · 08-26-2011, 05:21 PM

Crappy phone pic but looks good as new now and I put a dab of super glue on the tire. $75 well spent

happytheman · 08-26-2011, 11:08 PM

Very nice! You feel so much better now don't you? It looks great! I was just bent about the damage to my wheel until I could set it to rights again ya know?
