how bad is it?

i bent one of mine last december and i had no luck getting it repaired. took it to 3 shops.
each one said it would never be the same and not safe to drive on.

so be very cautious.

Group 5 can take care of it.

How big is the bend Nino? And is it on the inner or outer lip?

If it's a bend, talk to Group 5.
For curbs/scratches, talk to Velvet Touch.

US wheel repair in El Cajon/Santee is where most shops go in san deigo to outsource wheel repair - typically 100 and up to fix a rim depending on damage

AJ USA uses these guys
Black Forest USes these guys
JAB Performance center uses them as well

Brendan Prout uses them as well ^

They've fixed my HRE's, my ALT's, my TSW's, and even some steelies.

What up Nino!

Sux about the wheel. Definitely take it to U.S. Wheel everyone else is just a middle man for them anyway. They are the best in SoCal FoSho!!

I've used them recently too. Same situation, hit a pot hole and it not only bent my rim, but CRACKED it. They told me it might not be repairable, but I left it with them for like a week and a half and they managed to fix it. They do good work, they just take a while sometimes 'cause they get so many rims turned in to them as mentioned above.

On another note, you should try and get the city to pay for your repairs. Someone on here or the vortex recommended it to me and said he got a check in the mail a few weeks later. I sent my claim out a few weeks ago and just got a notice that they received it and are reviewing it.

Hope this helps, good luck man.

edit: pm me if you need the link to where you make the claim to the city. i think i might still have it.

Thx for the contact info Mike. I'll give them a call today. Check pm please. :)

is this them? http://www.uswheels.us/
1000 West Bradley Avenue
El Cajon, California 92020 ???

[mike619]

Yup that's them. Off the 67 freeway. Theyre kinda hard to find. Their shop is kinda small and located in the crack of a building and a fence.

[SDpnoy]

Here it is. I hope they can do something with it. I was quoted $80-95 today by Carlos. Resonable?

Dang the damage on your rim looks way worse than mine was, but after removing the tire they found out that mine had a crack, hopefully yours isnt. I think the price is fair, thats what I ended up paying ($95).

By the way, I got my check from the city a few days ago for the repair. Good luck with your claim if you decided to do it.
