    HOW DO THEY REPAINT BENT or CURB RASHES ON WHEELS???

    I'm just curious about the process? Do they fill the gaps on rashes and sand it, then repaint?

    Bent rims, they hammer them?

          They use a machine to straighten the rims. If the rash has actually eaten away the lip (vs just roughed it up), they will weld aluminum to the spot, then grind it down and repaint.

                      One of my Type C's had a chunk missing, and my man the Rim Straightener hand straightened the wheel, and had new metal welded in. After spraying it with the Wurth wheel paint, you cant even tell...

                          I called AL's pretty reasonable, $ 75. I'm there this weekend.

                                  Is that for one or for all four? With or without repainting?
