Rim Repair/question

bimmaBart · 03-04-2019, 05:36 PM

I'm in the market for a set of wheels , I was at A BMW dealer on the weekend and the parts guy told me about a set of 405M wheels(with rubbers) that have some damage (1wheel) he said an amateur mounted a rim incorrectly to put on the rubber and messed up said rim.

the other 3 wheels are in perfect condition and the price is right even for just 3 wheels

is this something that can be repaired? any shop recommendations?
can a wheel be trusted again?

I"ll try and post some pics after I install the app.

thanks

Carcone is one of the better wheel repair/refinishing shops in the GTA.
Roughly $125-$150 to refinish a rim.

So depending on the cost of the set it may well be worth it.

Messed up how? If it's dinged and the tire still mounts then for sure that cosmetic issue can be fixed. If it's bent, again can be fixed but will cost more and will have a fraction less structural integrity. If it's cracked I wouldn't buy the wheels

Ended up going back to the dealer to take a look at the wheels, the pictures the part guy sent me looked a lot worse then when I saw the wheels in person. to me it looks like all cosmetic damage so I got a quote from Union-Rim repair for 170$

I spent 2000$ on the wheels. (rubber+TPMS+rim)

All 4 of my 405ms were bent (benefits of those low pro run flat pirellis, which I believe were total crap, they lasted about 20k, with zero rim protection) I took the the rims to Carcones Monday, got them back Wednesday. Very smooth process! Now i'm looking for tires, I'm thinking of the Falken fk510s or the famous 4S ($1200Vs $2200 average quotes). I'm leaning towards the FK510s, its a fairly newly released tires with limited but good reviews. If anyone has experience with the Falkens lemme know.

I specifically stayed away from the limited edition cars which came with the 405s as my sales guy warned me about how easily they bend. That and I wanted adpative LEDs.
