    Hey guys

    (i just joined about a day ago so im a newy, so bear wit me at this lol)

    I think 150 is a bit much for a damage about 10mm, i have the wheel man coming out to fix my rim this week and his charging me 170 to fix a machine finished rim, damaged for almost all the way around the lip of the rim.

    So if was you I would ask him to re-consider that price cause, if yours isent a machined rim (which is one of main factors because its harder to match the paint colour) and the damage is only about 10mm long it shouldnt cost you that much..! but thats what i think

    I hav attached pics of my damaged rim that getting fixed so you can have a look at and compare.!!

    Hope it helps..
