Wheel repair?

[industrialsized]

yeah don't spot heat cast aluminum if you need to heat them heat the whole wheel evenly

Not sure I would want to hammer my own wheels to correct a bend. Leave it to the professionals.

Contact Stefano at Alloyed Wheel Repair. He does all of the work for Concours pre-own'd wheels that come in and is a BMW nut. Great prices as well.

stephano is who i talked to and got quoted 125 each. that price is fine for wheels which have some value, but for a wheel worth the same amount, i might as well use them as they are or throw em away.

Then I'd try my luck at hammering them out. Take your time, have a brewski or three, and start hammering in small spots at a time..

probably will try it, neighbors are going to hate me

Don't mean to thread jack but doesn't anyone know a shop that can Fill and Drill? Im having a hard time finding a 5 lug swap for any decent money.

I'm looking for a fill and drill shop as well.

Fill and drill shop would be neat to find since I have a bunch of wheels that dont match my bolt pattern, but would be fun to bolt up.

Not sure that I'd really want to run fill-n-drilled wheels on anything I really drive a lot or drive hard.

Curious as to what it typically costs though. I'd imagine you'd be able to buy correct wheels after factoring in the cost of wheels plus the fill and drill.

depends on the wheel....

a set of 4x100 16" RS are pretty ridiculous expensive vs. 16" 5 lug RS. Sending the centers for fill and drill is relatively cheap. Rotiform and Memoryfab do this competently. If its a center you could ship pretty cheap Id send it out to Memoryfab most likely. But im looking to put single piece wheels on my car and shipping them would not make sense.

I know this thread is old but there is a joint in chicago that will fill and drill. I wanted to put Mpars on my 240sx and I can't remember what they quoted but it was actually very reasonable. Gomez tires is the name of the place.
