Jeez! OK OK! hahaha well I contacted Rich Williams at "Wheel Magic" per FreezingCX7's recommendation. I have to bring them in next week and he will give me a finalized price but it looks like I am probably looking at roughly $60 per wheel for the two with the most damage (3 & 2) and then roughly $35 a wheel for the other two with minor damage (1 & 4). Here's a link to the photos so you can see what kind of repair work we are talking about in my case.

After I get them back I'll update this thread or post a new one with before and after pics! :61424796:

damn dude those are some fucked up wheels.

DemonOfTheFall · Postby **DemonOfTheFall** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:14

Yep and I only damaged one of them. But the most fucked up one is the one I did lol

um but there are 4 fucked up wheels.. how'd you do one? unless you mean you curbed 1 the other 3 are due to accident

DemonOfTheFall · Postby **DemonOfTheFall** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:14

I bought the set "pre-curbed" with 1 pristine wheel, 2 wheels with minor rash and one pretty fucked up rim. It took me a year to find a set of Shinkas in any condition so I figured $300 plus a couple hundred for reconditioning was still a good deal. In the mean time I destroyed the pristine rim at the Glenwood Springs Taco Bell drive through in the winter... douche bags set a couple cinder blocks next to the curb to prevent people from hitting their little speaker box. But when it snows you can't tell they are there until you hear the crunch. :72e8bcf2:

wow seriously? I woulda gotten my bat out and started destroying shit

DemonOfTheFall · Postby **DemonOfTheFall** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:14

lol yea that is a whole other story though.

If all goes well I'll be posting here again next week with pics of 4 non-fucked up rims lol. Rich said that they the RX-8 rims are extremely easy to repair so I am hopeful
