    Hey guys,

    I have 19" aluminum DPE's that I want to get stripped and powdercoated. The thing is, 2 of the 4 wheels have nasty curbage on the lip. Does anyone know of a place where I can get them repaired? A place that can repair AND strip & powdercoat would be perfect. but I figured I would end up having to visit 2 separate places for this. Not sure if it matters, the tires are mounted still, with tpms.

    Any help is appreciated

    Alloy Wheel Repair, Nuwheels in Tucson/Phoenix should be able to refinish your wheels.

    Would you guys mind giving me rough estimates on these services??

    Minor to moderate curb rash on aluminum, as well as the cost to strip & powder

    Thanks again

    I Do all the above (use santi and alex to strip) but turn around is beyond reasonable right now.

    I vouch for Alloy Wheel Repair...had my OEM Charleston's refinished and repaired and couldn't have been happier with the results. Two of the wheels were slightly bent, which was causing a bad seal and slow leakage. Really annoying as I was having to refill those two tires with air every couple weeks. They were repaired back to factory spec and I had them refinished in satin black. You'll have to take it to their shop in south Phoenix but turn around time was like one day.

    I think I had all mine done for $600-650ish, but I had curb rash on all of them and like I said two were bent.
