Anyone know how I could get the wheels fixed on my Saleen? The previous owner parked too close, more like on the curbs, and chewed up the wheels pretty bad. I don't want to buy new ones since I am planning on selling the car soon. Any help would be appreciated.

Unforunately, without sending them out to be redone, there's not much you can do.

A friend of mine just had his '70 Boss 302's wheels rerimmed. I have no idea what that costs.

I don't know where you are located, but we had a rep from Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists come to our Mustang club meeting in Montgomery a while back and give us the spiel on his company. I haven't used them personally, but he said they can repair most wheels on-site without having to remove the wheel. They do onsite repairs of "curb damaged wheels, cuts, gouges, stratches, scrapes or scuffs." He said that tons of dealers use their service to repair wheels on high-dollar used cars with alloy wheels. Here is some of the info from his flyer:

"Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, Inc., is an international company based in Atlanta, GA. The company has been a leader in on-site reconditioning since 1985, developing unique products and services utilized by specialists in the craft of paint touch-up, paintless dent removal, interior repair and alloy wheel repair. The company has operations in over 40 cities in the US and Canada and is the fastest growing company of its kind worldwide."

"The Process: Employing a variety of air tools married with abrasives, aluminized fillers, custom paints and clear coat, the company engineered procedures in which a craftsman can transform damaged standard or flat bead wheels without wheel or tire removal."

If interested, contact them at: Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, Inc., 2200 Satellite Blvd, Suite 1311, Duluth, GA 30097, phone 678-584-1616 or 888-666-1340. The contact info for the rep here in Montgomery, AL is: 334-657-5210 or 334-269-6398.

Good luck and I'll be looking for some feedback from anyone who has used these guys, or others.

one thing i did when i f*@(#*$& up my rims is use a dremel to buff out the scratches- i'm not sure if your rims are high polished or not- but mine were brushed looking so taking a dremel tool and an appropriate sanding bit i managed to camoflauge the scratches- it didn't get them out completely- but it was better than the metal sticking up and looking really really bad.... hope this helps

I had Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist (Seattle branch) work on my car. I met them at the dealership and he cleaned up the edges that were scuffed from curbs. He did two wheels and they looked like new, $55.00.
