Aluminum Wheel Repair Questions
Hope this is where to post this. (If not, please move. Thank you)
I have a set of four aluminum slot mags that have some condition issues. The rims aren't all alike. There are two sets of two. There aren't any maker's marks on them that I can find. I'm looking for a place to have them repaired (locally would be nice - Houston, TX). Anyone familiar with this type of work? There are two that look like this. I prefer the shape of the slots in this pair. They have an odd dimpled finish on the inside though. ![]() This is what the inside looks like (anyone ever seen this before)? ![]() Here's the worst damage. It's on the back of the rim. ![]() Doesn't wrap around to the bead though. ![]() Here is the other style. ![]() Type of finish on the inside of this pair. ![]() Worst damage on this pair. ![]() I've read and seen online examples of ow aluminum wheels can have damaged areas "welded" and that they can be refinished on a lathe with excellent results and I was wondering if anyone on this board has experience with a particular company that they could recommend. Here is a (before/after) pic that I found online with the type or results I'm hoping for. ![]() Thanks. |
