Damaged Wheels and Repair 2001 CLK430
This is my first time posting here, and I am not sure if this has been covered before, but I thought it was worth posting in case you have damaged OEM rims.
I bought my 2001 CLK about three weeks ago and it was in great shape as it only had 39,000 original miles on it. One bad thing about the car was the wheels. The previous owner must have parked up against every curb they could find as all 4 wheels were damaged. I had looked into replacement OEM wheels as well as some nice aftermarket rims, but I really like these wheels and the tires have a couple seasons left on them.
Anyway, I found a company here in Spokane, WA who claimed they could fix the rims as they were not bent or cracked. I could not believe how great they turned out. I have attached some pictures of the before and after. The best $150 (total) I have ever spent on a car.
