Curb Rash Repair?
-
I need to put new tires on my summer rims, and as they are 5 years old and this is a daily driver, there are some curb rash spots I'd like to get fixed up before i throw on the new tires.
I am trying to figure out how I'd like to address the rash. Places like Wheels America have a flat rate of like $170 per wheel to fix anything from light scratching to wheel being triangular. Seems like a bad deal for just curb rash.
Then there's this other place in Duluth: http://curbrash.com/duluth-wheel-repair.htm
...But I haven't called them yet to see if I can mail wheels there / have them mail them back affordably.
You can of course get the curb rash repair kits like this one: http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?part=AW-KIT
But that requires me to set aside the time to do it and do a good job.. something I'm disinclined to go after.
So -- what say you? How have you guys taken care of your curb rash problems? Anyone in town that does good repairs ?

I've used these guys before and they were honest and did a good job.
However, Wheel's America, did the best damn job I've ever seen on two of my wheels that I had bent.
