    Curb Rash Fix

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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
