Rim repairs

Postby Akane » Sun Mar 19, 2006 9:10 am

Can anybody tell me how does a curb'd rim gets repaired? and if so, how much? I just don't understand how bits of alloy is missing on the rim's lip gets put back on.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

if its jst light kurbing they will just face it off.
if it is deep they will build it up by welding, then face it off

i used machine part welding in penrose for my last wheel repair, excellent quality, just slow serivce
