Question Magnesium Wheels

[OL Yeller]

Anyone out there on the east coast know of anyone that can repair the magnesium rims? Mine have a bit of road rash.
Or...maybe someone has a set collecting dust in the back of the garage...and I hope they have gone down in price since 2001.

Try Rim Pros in Sydney Yeller. Had a bent rim on a rental a few years back they fixed for me. Seemed like good guys and I noticedthey refinish rims as well. Gonna be a ferry ride for ya though....

lol... Not much of a story Murray.... Some dumb a$$ attacked a curb a little too aggressively.... Ok... It was me...I admit it..I was the dumb a$$.... Luckily was cheap steel rims. Pound out the dent and away we go...lol...

Those magnesium rims were expeeeeeeeensive on the C5! I think they have gone down in price since 2001 and they pop up from time to time. I’ve seen a set for a $1000 for all for, not each, like it used to be. Let us know how the repairs go!

Checking to see if a shop in the Kenmount Road area of St. John's is still open. Otherwise there is a guy near where I live that might be able to help but I don't have his details.

OK Ruuff thanks, good to know there is a back-up. I wouldn't mind the trip but a bit closer would be better. If you get the info 12 cents, let me know. We can let everyone know how it goes.

I agree Riley P, They are listed as an option on my window sticker for $2,600.

Still waiting on a couple of replies. I am away at work and some of the guys I am trying to contact might be as well.

Have a set on my 99 vert, with very little road rash, and would also like to know who can touch them up. Looking forward to what you find out...JSH

Mine apparently were a $3000 option.

I use Wheel Works in Edmonton. Great guys with fantastic workmanship. Had them refinish my 70 Rally rims. Came back looking true and better than they did new. They can repair bent and gouged wheels, paint or powder coat. Quite impressive work.
