Ruined my racing hart wheel

[mitsuclipsegsx]

I hit a curb and messed up my racing harts Is there a way I can fix it? Grind it down maybe? any ideas? Are there any places that fixes wheels?

I have a magazine somewhere that has a whole section on how to fix curbed wheels (as long as they still hold air). It would probably take weeks for me to actually find the article but I do remember some. Any deep gouges that can't be grinded/sanded out they used a welder to fill. They grinded it flat, sanded it smooth, and polished it out.

What kind of places do you think fix wheels?

That doesnt look that bad at all, you should have no problem getting it fixed. A friend of mine had a local machine shop fix his wheel after he rashed it on the curb. You might check into that.

Curb rash is a part of life. I accepted my rash already.

My neighbor had a wheel that was way worse than that, and had it fixed by a shop for $75.

I just asked him where he got it done. Check out "wheeldoctor" and "rimdoc.com"

Kinda ironic the one pict has the (rim protection) label right above.
Is the wheel still true?

that doesnt look bad at all, most cars have something similar to that, rim shop will fix it no biggy!

You can always just say screw it, not fix the rim, and send them all to me so I have spares if something like that happens to mine

I don't think that looks bad at all though. I don't even know if I'd notice it if I wasn't looking for it.

Ye Ole Wheel Shop does great work but takes a while to get done due to their high volume, you would have to ship your wheels to them. They are down here in MD. Good luck tho, the curbage doesn't look too horrible though.
