Curb Rash Fix

[montazch]

Hello fellow MM enthusiast.

Does anyone know of a place where I can ship off my original MM rims, have the curb rash fixed (from previous owner, 92 year old dude), and possibly re-chromed for a reasonable price? I've so far found a place that will do them for $300 a wheel, but dang, I can buy a refurbished wheel for that. Please help, I hate the curb rash and it makes my reputation look bad.

Thanks to all! I mean it!!!

weld craft in OH (i think), the place that widens them should be able to have them fixed.

stock wheels are not chromed.

[montazch]

Yeah, I'm shipping my rears to them this winter, but I didn't think they did chrome. BTW did you check the last Throttle Body post from me?

As stated above, our wheels are not chromed.

Well yeah. Anyone could google anything, but what I'm asking is MercuryMarauder.net for help. Who has dealt with this sort of thing and who do they recommend? Don't hand me a blanketed "google rim repair" and expect me to accept that. Nothing doing Batman. I'm an old Green Beret and I expect a lot more than that. Thank you and good day.

If I send refurbished chrome wheels to you, you can add to the rear 1.5 inches without boogering them up? I'm quite sure you can but I have to ask. Thanks!

ahh, yeah I just live in MI, I'd call them up man they are nice folks. Our wheels are polished aluminium, not chrome. I'm pretty sure they could help you out.

[montazch]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. I feel like an id10t. I didn't know that. I thought they were chrome. Wow! That helps out a whole bunch! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I definitely plan on calling them and more than likely, sending my rims to them this winter. Wow! Thanks man!

Guess you were waiting for the polished aluminum answer. ;)

[Blk Mamba]

You are an idiot.

[montazch]

Blk Mamba. If you don't have anything to help this thread, please don't leave your Jarhead two cents. Nothing I have said is disrespecting to anyone on here. I try to be as courteous as possible. Thank you. -j

[Blk Mamba]

If that is as courteous as you can be, you need to take etiquette lessons, BTW you IM'ed me first, with your mouth full of BS. And go ahead and see if you can get me expelled, I need a vacation you clown.

[montazch]

Oh please tell me where you live. I can't stand giving you any more courtesy.

[Blk Mamba]

The location listed is my front door, I'm waiting.

[montazch]

Blk Mamba. I'm sorry dude if something came across as insulting. Look, I'm sorry. I'm too old for petty stuff and if I offended you, I truly am sorry. Sincerely, -j

I am a new marauder owner and have been busy caring for the car, it's been fun. One of the things I did recently was getting rid of some rust like spots on one of the rims. Things were looking really good, all four rims looked pretty nice. However, two days ago I was making a 'u' turn, I thought I had plenty of room so I proceeded with confidence. I was wrong, by the time the tire touched the curb it was too late, I kept going forward and cringed at the feel and sound. I tried not thinking about it and actually forgot about it for about 2 hours until I saw the rim.:mad2:I can't believe I did this to my car! I can't remember doing this to any other car. :banghead: You guys here are all so good about taking care of your cars that I feel inadequate posting but had to vent somehow. I'll be doing some research on tire rash repair. I can't see myself spending too much $ on this at this time though. The car purchase cost me several brownie points and I am planning on spending some more $ on mods.

I didn't know that! :(

I've got one rim that has some serious "curb rash" and want to have it repaired. Anyone know the average price to repair our factory rims?

Thanks in advance! :beer:

Oh My God! Really, MY God, which may not be yours....
