I have the staggered AMG 5 spoke monoblock alloy wheels that come with the Sport package. When I bought my car both of the front wheels needed curb rash repair.

I decided to call in a mobile wheel repair specialist. They repaired each of the wheels on the car for $125/each and they did a fantastic job. I would strongly suggest that you consider this avenue if it works for you.

Hi Lynns:

Glad to hear your wheels are back in tip-top shape. Do you happen to have some before/after pics you could post?

Thanks, Will

BTW, I believe this company does repair in SD.

you should host pictures here. To view photos on the other forum we would have to sign up.

I am curious to see the results, I have a wheel that is in dire need of touching up. Did they clear coat too?

lynns

Yes, and please join the other site to view my picture. It's worth the information that you receive.

Very Cool. I had Velvet Touch come out to my office yesterday to fix two really bad AMG five (thin) spoke wheels -- they look BRAND NEW. It took only about 2.5 hours. A dude named Migual did the work. $125 each.

My understanding is that they cover all of San Diego and Orange counties and parts of Los Angeles county (where I am).

And, no I didn't take photos. But one of them had a strip of curb rash that was up to 1/2 inch wide around 90% of the tire (I ran over a curb that was in a very unexpected place on a very narrow driveway).

But I'm very happy with the result. So happy that I went for a midnight run and ended up with a ticket for 84 in a 65 zone. I wish they could make that freakin' rash go away.

Yes, Miguel did the work on my car and he did a great job. I understand that he has been doing this about seven years now. Miguel told me that his work is guaranteed for two years.

Did you tell him that I posted my results about his work on this forum?

Sorry about your speed ticket. Traffic School here you come!

I told Miguel about this board AND that I learned of Velvet Touch through this board -- and that another SL owner posted the results of his repair on the board. Also, that I would be posting.

He wrote it all down; I think he wants to see about advertising here.

Yeah, he gave me huge discount for posting here. Did you get your discount? I hope you got yours. HA HA HA NOT. No discount.

lynns

This is the best kind of advertizing that he can get.
