Thank God for wheel repair guys!

I had this "curb encounter" a couple of months ago on my baby's right side wheels (front and rear). Decided a band aid solution by using sand paper to kinda even out the damaged area.

I pretended to ignore the damn thing but everytime I'm caught in stop and go traffic, it felt like the guy in the next car would snicker and say, "Nice X but ugly wheels!"

To make a long story short, I decided to find myself a good wheel repair shop this week and was recommended by a friend to this shop. Place didn't look classy but with the names of Euro car clients on his list, I figured it was good enough for me. This guy did it in an hour for both wheels without removing the tires.

Front wheel. The rear had pretty much the same look


A small amount of quick drying putty, sanding and filing (?)



Two coats of paint



All done and mounted! Sorry no tire black available

Very nice... I plan on having my wheels done in the coming months. But I hardly doubt i'll get it for $25 dollars.
