Got my Rims Back!!!
I just had my wheels repaired at "Ye Ole Wheel Shop" in Maryland. They did a great job. Straightened out 2 bent rims and high gloss polished all 4 lips on my wheels. They look better than when I first got them. Getting AMG Brembo's and Sway bars this week!

bensitto, nice car! What version Eisenmann do you have? Sport, Hi-Performance or Race? How is the sound? That rear bumper cutout looks very smooth - Looks factory.

This is the factory Sport package in the US... Avantgarde in Europe. No AMG body kit. I think my car looks way better than C32's, Performance wise... rather have the C32 of course.
Yes, Did have to trim the bumper, about 1.75 inches, to make room for the exhaust. I might trim .25 inches more, just to give it a little more breathing room.
LM5 replicas 19's with 235/35 19 Nitto 555's. The real LM5's were $1,200 per rim! way too much for me. But the wheels came with a diamond cut finish, just like the real LM5's. Getting the lips hi gloss polished made them look like CHROME! I paid $125 for each wheel that they straightened. 2 in all. Then $50 per rim to hi-gloss polish the lips. $10 to dismount and $10 to mount and balance the tires. It was well worth it!

oOoMarkoOo, You might want to leave a good wheel at the shop if you are getting only one wheel fixed... So they can match up the colors and finish.
