Just a while ago, one of my rims met the curb during a turn ( I didnt do it though =P) and it got dented in (its pretty bad). Are there any shops around here that do rim repairs? estimated costs? I wana repair it before I change my tires =) Thanks a lot

I have had work done by Panther in the past. Painting and the like. They have better prices than Greens and some of the rims they have fixed I would call a miracle. I had a friend that BADLY curbed his rim. A TSW VX2 I think. Looked like new after they were done.

I've been checkin out places to get my rims fixed too..I've talked to both panther and greens...panther gave me costs b/w 135-165...depending on whether its just refinishing or if they have to weld and fix bent wheel..obviously if they have to weld and fix the bent wheel..its gonna be 165...but yeah...greens was much more expensive...but if you know someone...they they give youa 20% discount...which they gave me..but it was still quite expensive..around 170 with the 20% discount...
I am still unsure where I am gonn go...greens is a lot closer to me...panther is in surrey..ouch

I had Greens fix two of my MY99 rims and they did a good job. I wasn't concerned about price since it was covered under insurance.

Thats cool, did you get in an accident or did your insurance cover wheel denting? =)

Could someone give me the number for greens? I did a search on mybc but no luck... thanks

BTW, thanks for your replies everyone, ill go check them out. :)

AllWheelDrift is absolutely correct. That is the place and full name for Panther.
