Call up GSL Chev city, and talk to the sales manager. They deal alot with this mobile wheel repair person. He does WONDERS with rims, but I completely forget the guys name....

Calgary Wheel repair is it?

Anyway, call and ask
-Good luck:thumbsup:

AWR does good work, it just takes a while sometimes. But I haven't dealt with them for a while so they may be better now, for turn around times..

yeah I dont know how much it is going to cost me, all that I really want repaired is there is old places where they put the outside weights on the rim and have left a few scrathces and kinda a outprint of the weight on the lip.

I am pretty sure its ~$150/rim but that is what I was quoted to paint them. So in your situation it may be less. Just call them and find out.

try metal polish and some elbow grease before you decide to drop $150/rim at a wheel repair shop.
