Hi,

You may have seen my post about my kid crashing his 1985 944. He has (had) 16" Fuchs on it. The front passenger Wheel is bent and a little rashed now. The fronts are 7Jx16, I believe the rears are 8Jx16. Even if we get compensation for this car from the insurance company, I may buy it back. I'd like a recommendation for Fuch wheel repair in our area to possibly keep the set complete, depending on cost.

Thanks,
Dennis

 

My son bent two wheels on his 944 here in Sac. At the time there was a place in Woodland that did wheel straightening/repairing but it would have cost more than finding 2 used wheels in our case. I've never trusted repairs to a cast wheel (especially forged) unless they were cosmetic surface repairs only and didn't involve a missing chunk or break in the bead area.

 

Thanks Steve,
No missing chunks, just bent. I'll look in Woodland, but you may be right, I will probably be better off just finding another wheel to match.

 

Weidman's Wheels in Oroville does outstanding work -- maybe too high end for what you're looking for, but worth a call.
