Hey Shyguy, thxs for posting, I just called Mike...great guy, he is coming to my house to quote tomorrow night! can't wait!

Also gave him a call today, super nice guy on the phone.
Will probably get my wheel fixed by him sometime next week :)

Nice Car
Nice Rims before and after


But you need to work on your parking dude

that's not bad for $150/wheel.
I thought that was powder coated, would like to see the longivity of the paint.

I think is kind of pricy for $150/wheel and not taking the tires off. don't tell me that he just put an other coat of paint on top of 1.

panther and greens charge about the same price, but they take tires off.

also, powdercoating would cost less, there a place in mitchel island that do sandblast for like $30/wheel, and powdercoat is like $40/wheel, that come total of $75/wheel, cheaper then painting it, just to my cent.

Didn't you read the thread? :facepalm:

Hmm..pcanime do you have more details about this place you are talking about?

man... i want to refinish my wheel after chipping them a million times with stupid mistakes, but they have advan RGII stickers on them, that'll be a bitch to get again, and also EMBOSSED advan logo which needs to get taped off :(

werd, i will stick with my nu brite

those who run expensive rims, dont cheap out on the repair. Unless your rims is under $1500 crap, it really doesnt matter where you get it fixed.

Big fan of Nubrite, worked at a shop for a while and every wheel fixed was flawless. Simons a good guy, I've had 2 sets of wheels refinished.

* work equipe 03
* ssr typex

your cent lol....you still have to get it repaired first
and blasting should be more expensive than the powdercoating itself. not sure where your getting your info from

standard repairs rates are 175
25 mount and balance
25 material fee

anything below 225 you got a good deal

i work with the wheel repair companies for insurance claims

dude the new look is waaay better!!

the black looks a lot better!

mike at western wheelcraft is a really nice guy!! they mainly do cosmetic repairs but are expanding day by day. if u need ur rims fixed the turn around time could be the same day depending if they are swamp. fast and friendly service

Mike came by and got my rims today... should be a few days :)

Then I'll have good-as-new graphite Enkei RS-5's :D

Man, that looks fantastic.

your car looks great dude, good job on the wheels too.... I saw you parked at Cambie yesterday and today too I think... I guess you were there for the basketball tournament, so was I...

what team were you on ?

Panther may be more expensive then the rest but there's a reason for that...they get everyone elses work, ie. Green's, Nubrite, etc. as well as regular customer inflow.

I'm now thinking about getting spacers to fill out the fender in the front. What size do you think I'll need to get it just inside the fender? 10mm? 12mm?

Yah I was there for the tournament...I was on SVPGMBC

you?

^. was that the red team with team jerseys that was talkin shit to me the whole game?

I dont know what my team is called, I was a last minute pickup only knew 1 guy on my team. I was the white guy with the white arm sleeve and red and white iversons...

I'd like to know what did I ever say or do to your team for them
to be talkin all that shit to me that last game we played on sunday at 3..
we werent even playing you guys, you guys were in the bleachers!
And all the trash talk was directed directly towards me from what I heard, why was that?

Mike just dropped off my refinished rims:

To quote my wife: "Holy crap! Those look awesome!"

Considering how badly curbed it was... it looks brand new now. I can't say enough good stuff about Western Wheelcraft! Totally awesome service... comes to your house, picks up the rims, takes 'em away... they're back a couple of days later. Just a great, great guy!!

Haha..what? I think you misunderstood...we were cheering for the other team because they needed to score more than 20 points against u guys for us to advance to the 3rd place game...trust me there was no shit spoken about you.

Oh ok then I wasnt paying too much attention so I definitely misheard then, I was too into the game...It just sounded like every time I got the ball you guys got loud
And nobody told me about that point spread bullshit either, its weird how that works, i play a lot of ball and have never seen a tourney format like that...
Only after the game they told me that if we won that last game by more than 30, we would have advanced... If i knew that shit before the game i would have dropped a few more 3's, we only won by 22 so it wasnt enough...

How did you guys do, what place?

That semi-gloss black is a HUGE improvement, although you really can't complain with HRE's any way they look!! :)

Yah it was a stupid system...we placed 3rd..
