Default Wheels America Dallas, TX .... I thought they were good.

I had one of my ssr's fixed by them. I like how they did the front of my wheel but the fucked up the inside of my wheel.

It has dents all over it. It looks horrible.

Are they suppose to be like this?

I called them up and said "why is not the inside of my wheel not smooth?" He said "i did not know you wanted the inside of the rim like that." I also said "I wanted the inside of the wheel to match the front of the wheel." (the inside of the wheel and outside were primered gray or somthing)

He acted like that was an absurd question and said "we are not going to do the back wheel like the front of the wheel." Then he said "just send it back and i will smooth it down and reclear coat it."(without matching the paint on the inside of the wheel like the front of the wheel.)

All i got to say is Wheels America no good.

Also anybody got any experience on good rim repair shops.

Here are some pics of of the damage too my wheel .

as long as the face of the wheel looks good, why does the inside matter? i do see your point if you paid a lot of money though. if i pay a lot for something, i expect it to be nearly perfect. i guess it depends how much you payed to have it done, but no one will notice the inside of your wheel when it's on the car.

I would be pissed too... I got a dent fixed on one of my previous wheels and the only "side effect" where little tiny ding marks on the inside but no dents or anything as bad as your's... looks like he used OLD equipment to fix your's.... I don't see how he is going to smooth it out... probably going to bondo and sand the **** out of the inside... sorry dude...

It matters to me because it was not like that when i shipped it to them. I also wondered how they dented it like that because all i wanted was to get the lip fixed, straightened and sprayed.
