Thanks Mach for the suggestion...coincidentally I took it there this morning...found them on line.....they look pretty reputable...hope the quality of work is good too....they are charging 150-200...depending on how much metal they have to add.


Jeff said that the brabus rims are surprisingly week complared to the others....cuz the lip is so thin.

Once again, thanks Mach for the reply

No problem, please post later how it works out for you. I've dealt with too many bad wheel repair shops, and enjoy helping those who can get the job done properly.

Final results of rim repair

Final results....rims look really good....perfect and true......the color is slightly off...cuz the oringal lip is machine finish...and the repaired lip was painted to look like machine finish...slight difference in the color...but still look really good....totaly cost was $150 for the repair and $10 for the mounting cost
