Just wondering..... if the edge of a wheel rim is damaged (i.e a bit of a chunk missing) is there any way to fix it?

You talking mag??
You can get them welded up and polished.
About $100 per wheel

I just got my Empi 8's sandblasted and they look good, except one of the wheels isn't so good. It'll end up being my spare wheel, but I just didn't know if the edge could be fixed where an inch-long chunk is missing.... probably half a cm wide or so.
I'm planning to paint the wheels, not polish though. Would it be noticeable if it was welded and painted? I'll get a photo of said wheel tomorrow and post it here.

They restored the set of lemmerz wheels I've got on my bug. They've been around for a long time and really know their stuff. If they couldn't do the job themselves they'd know who would. Good people too.

most engineering shops can repair damaged mags
i thought i had completely rooted one of my momo rims after i fell asleep driving home one night and woke up when i mounted a curb
it put a 4" flat spot in the rim and broke a 15mm chunk out
heres the rim repaired, u'd never know it was ever buckled
local tyre shop knew who to send it to

I have spent all day today witnessing a repair to a mag wheel. The rim was what I would regard a 'throwaway' - 3x1cm crack and dent - all fixed now! The company I was at is called Special FX in Mt Druitt NSW. HTH
