Where to fix wheel? GVA area

public1 · 03-25-2009, 11:18 AM

I would say first get a quote on the cost and I wouldn't be surprised for it to be on the very high side like 200+ but just for piece of mind I think you should just get a new one even though you'll have to bite the bullet again and pay for your custom paint

i asked my friend, he had the same experience as you, go take some pics of that pothole today, and go take some tmr if the pothole still there, and then take your bent rim and pics to City, and ask them to claim it for you!!

I'm surprised you didn't blow out your tire. That is one huge dent. I'd get the wheel replaced and have the mounting/balancing shop take an extra good look at your tire before they install it on the rim, just to make sure there's nothing wrong internally. Last thing you want is to blow out the tire a few weeks/months from now and destroy a new rim.

Try calling Korva Collision on West 2nd in Vancouver; the wheel repair shop they use is fantastic and don't charge a fortune. (Assuming they can actually fix it!)

i've heard good things about "wheel-fix-it"

something that big woulda messed up your alignment too, so thats gotta get done aswell.

wayway409 · 03-25-2009, 03:50 PM

when i drove it last night, the wheel isnt shaking and the car is balanced.

i asked green and they believe that its not serious damage and its Estimate $200~250

Kit523 · 03-25-2009, 06:35 PM

to be honest 200-250 i would fix it....

time for some Forged wheels or Semi-Solid Forged wheels hehehee...

or watch out for the billions of potholes in vancouver

ehhhwik · 03-25-2009, 08:35 PM

IMO, whether the wheels are forged, semi forged, cast or even made out of tofu, if you run over a pot hole deep enough, you wheels will be ruined

there are plenty of cases on this forum that ive seen who have forged wheels (won't name any brands here) that got bent due to driving over pot holes or running over a curb

ssonss1 · 03-25-2009, 08:40 PM

nu brite...fixed my bent wheels many times...always perfect work

eric is right,even u have some very high quality forged wheel they will also bend if meet the pot hole.maybe the bend size will smaller with good quality wheel.damn,i got one bended too.

KkSc · 03-25-2009, 10:20 PM

Generally...the theory is that when you have a high pressure forged wheel...it should crack before it will bend.

Cast wheels will be more likely to bend than crack.

shut up la rich, hahahha..it worked with my friend, but not every case is gonna work..lol...my friend took at least one week pics of that pothole and it was winter time, so this may not work for you wayway!!

ehhhwik · 03-26-2009, 04:05 PM

claiming it with the city does work, it might take awhile (so depends how time is valuable to your or not), but i've heard on the news before, the city of Vancouver have something like $20 million (don't quote me on this number) in their annual budget to claims like this

but as with every situation where you are asking for money from the government, it will take almost till the end of time, so your choice, but the money IS there!
