Curbed one of my wheels looking for suggestions

[K80Kid]

I just had two of my wheels (18" twist) repaired. It's amazing! You would never know they were scraped by the previous owner. The repair guy even came to my home and did the job in the driveway!

I was so impressed, I had him fix the wheels on my wife's Acura TSX.

My wife has a thing about curbs...

Total cost for 6 wheels was $375. Worth every penny!

Does anyone know of a good wheel repair person in the Sacramento region?

I started this job two weeks ago. Weather permitting I should be able to finish the job this weekend. Scraped both right side wheels against a curb in downpour.
Looks good so far, smooth to the touch. Now I need to wet sand (400 grit) the bondo and duplicolor primer filler so that its completely flush.
Took about 2 hours to do both wheels.

Wheel Enchacements is a great place to buy wheels and tires...But they do not do their own work on repairs. They actually call over a local mobile guy to do all the work. Working directly with the guy (Son Tran) is about $75.00 a wheel, through wheel enchancements its about $150 a wheel. Take your pick. He did my wheels and did an awesome job... all four for $300.00.

Let me know and i can pass along his number to anyone interested. He works with many local dealers in the area as well....Porsche, Ferrari, Bently....
