They fixed my 17" OZ Sls that had a chunk missing out of the rim edge. It's a flat $100 including refinishing. I only had them spot paint the damaged section because they would never perfectly match the OZ powdercoat finish of the other rims. They did a great job...the shop is crappy looking and in a ****ty area, but they do excellent work. And I'm the most anal person you will ever meet

Let me know if you want to see pic of the finished product.

Here's an after shot...although, this was just taken today for another thread of mine and was not intended for use as an "after" shot of the repair. Not the greatest pic, but oh well.



A good 1-inch chunk was missing from the rim lip between spokes 3 and 4 counting counterclockwise from the valve stem. You can see the difference in paint color when looking at spoke 4.

I don't have any "before" pics, probably because I was too upset at my carnage of the rear passenger suspension...to the tune of $1G in suspension parts (luckily the shock was not blown).

My advice...go to the shop yourself and check out their work. They've got lots of repaired rims ready for customer pickup that you can look at. I sure wouldn't just send my expensive rims out to some shop, especially not Volks, just because someone on a message board recommended them.
