Hello, I have hit the edge of my back rim twice now and I was wondering have any of you guys ever had you rims refinished and is so how did it come out. Also anybody know were I can get a new oem rim for a good price trying to decide which way to go. Thanks in advance for any help.

where abouts are u loc??? its about $200 Cad to get the rim refinished, how ever its not as good as new, u can tell them apart, the refinished one will not be as smooth, but it will be very close, u have to look really close at the wheels to tell the difference, however a new rim will run u some where like 500-800 mark.

Thanks for the responce I am in New York and if you can tell the difference I guess I will go with a new rim. Do you know where I can get one for a good price? Thanks in advance.

Do yourself a favor and just replace the wheel with a new one.

Yeah that is what I am going to do but do you or anybody else know where I can get one other then the dealer.

Thanks

if it's a muli-piece you can get the lip chromed, or get the entire wheel chromed, then sell it, you'll get more, but more headache too.

Hello, tirerack does not carry the oem wheel for the c55. Again if anybody knows were I can get a new oem rear c55 rim please let me know.

Thanks

I guess it depends where you get the wheel repaired because I had the lips refinished on my c55 wheels and they came out perfect.

So how can I find a place that repairs curbed lips? A car broke down in a drive through, and I had to reverse out and lightly curbed a front wheel. I just replaced it. It would be nice to repair the lip and turn it into a spare.

I also had one of my rims refinished. Did it at the dealer body shop at the same time I had the windshield replaced (got hit by a flying rock).

I can't tell the difference between the original and repaired wheels. Maybe if I got down with a magnifying glass I could see something.

It was last year some time - so I can't recall the exact price - But I believe it was in the $200 range.
