Rim/Wheel Damage? Solution Available!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Iwantone2 · 10-06-2009, 05:36 PM

Okay, now that everything is good, I'll share my story:

I was driving down the street and need to make a right turn. The next thing that happens is that the front-right of the car jumps up and I hear a tremendous thud. I get out to inspect and I find the following :

Just my luck!!!

:upset:

Where the heck was I going to find a place to fix this that wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg? I started the hunt online and found the following place :

I called the Orange County phone number and spoke to Devin. He said he would give my info to his brother. They quoted a really good price (less than $100) so I decided to give them a shot. They said they would come to where I work and that was another plus for me.

Spencer, the tech that came out was really friendly and began to complement my car. He inspected the rim and said that it was something they could do. He began his work around 2:15 pm, didnt remove the tire at all. At 2:50 he calls me and tells me that he is done. I'm thinking, "how the heck is it going to look?" I see this:

WHAT?!?!? It looked like nothing had ever happened! Spencer even cleaned all of my rims as well.

I have to give a BIG THANK YOU to Devin, Spencer, and Dr. Wheel for their great service and excellent pricing

If any of you have any damage to your rims, give them a call, ask for either Devin or Spencer and tell them that Miguel referred you to them.

linkwpc · 10-06-2009, 05:45 PM

wow! VERY NICE! I think I got to do that to my mustang rims. Its has lots of messed up areas.... but I think that will cost me LOTS of money to fix it all.... But great to hear that everything is back to normal again

Nice!! I'll be giving them a call.

slick rick · 10-06-2009, 06:05 PM

Yeah, I think I will be giving them a call. Thanks for the info!

shevyman · 10-06-2009, 06:08 PM

looks good. i just might have to send them some business

d69chris · 10-06-2009, 06:57 PM

Excellent find!

TripleB · 10-06-2009, 07:09 PM

all you guys saying you're going to give them a call...did you scrape your rims up too? wow!! didn't realize there was so many of you.

Xmicro_SS · 10-06-2009, 07:33 PM

Looks Awesome.....SO......How did he do it?? Did he re-paint right on site???

MightyT · 10-06-2009, 07:39 PM

Nice find ... and great results ... Will be saving ... You neve know!

Thanks for sharing!!

2010CamaroOutlaw · 10-06-2009, 07:45 PM

just had a guy put me into the curb and did something similar to my rim, if his insurance gives me the run around about getting me a new rim i might have to call this guy. Good find!

He did everything on site, but I honestly have no idea what or how he did it. He did mention that he needed to match the paint, he must have spray painted it when he got the right color. Have I mentioned how amazed I am (tribone?)?!?!?!?

lakers171 · 10-07-2009, 10:59 AM

wow i think i will give this guy a call too i have a 1 inch scrape that i want to get cleaned up i know its not big but it bugs me

Iwantone2 · 10-07-2009, 11:06 AM

Believe me, an inch makes a difference

I could have lived with the damage to the rim, but after seeing what they do, I'm glad I got it done. I'm keeping their business card handy in case I decide to hit another curb

The Dark Knight · 10-07-2009, 02:14 PM

Hmm...I got a scrape on the G8 drivers rim...might give their I.E. branch a call...

Iwantone2 · 10-07-2009, 02:26 PM

I'll be calling them again cuz for some miracle of our divine Lord, the left side rim is scratched up a bit as well. I may have some enemies that I do not know of, or some punk ass kids in my neighborhood have nothing better to do. I'll tell you guys this, somebody's gonna get their ass kicked...once I find out who it is I mean.

At any rate, I'm glad that everybody will find some benefit from my bad luck. We're all here to help each other, right?

erasedgod · 10-08-2009, 06:26 PM

Awesome. I did something similar and scratched my rear passenger side up. I'll likely be sending him some business as well.

2LTRS · 04-14-2010, 05:28 PM

I just had Dr Wheel's Paul re-finish my wheel.. Great price, came to my house, same day work! Very happy with this repair.

slick rick · 04-14-2010, 05:32 PM

Wow, great work

*Mindz* · 04-14-2010, 05:34 PM

That's awesome. Now if we could find a PDR person we'll be set for SoCal handymen.

Iwantone2 · 04-14-2010, 07:00 PM

2LTRS, you sound like another happy customer of my buddies at Dr. Wheel!!! It looks like new!!! Glad they were able to help you out!

lee · 04-14-2010, 07:12 PM

All I can say is...

6BANGER · 04-14-2010, 09:10 PM

Hell ! I need them on mine too !
I wonder if it would be okay to ask them to the 100+++ Camaro meet on the 24th ?

It's actually pretty cool to watch them work.. They basically re-surface the wheel with an angle grinder; mix some paint, airbrush and blend the damaged area. TA DA done deal. I was ready to pay $480 for a new wheel, but a buddy of mine turned me on to this thread a few months back, so I bookmarked it

. This thread saved me $405... I'm pretty stoked about that.

t_long927 · 04-16-2010, 10:12 PM

looks like I need to scratch a rim next time I'm down there. I just wanna see it in progress. Next time one of you guys call them out put that on youtube. LOL
