:bite: hahaha. you cant search for this type of shit, so :keke:. anyways, ill wait for you guys to put your flame torches down. one simple question, can these rims be easily repaired? (for me, meaning minimal $). is there something in advans manufacturing process that makes it harder to repair? or could it be an easy fix? thanks

my rims was cracked and they cannot fix it. but my friend said he send his volk and blitz wheels to this place and they did excellent jobs. I been their shop in westminister and it is a huge shop. They had about six rims pick up truck drive around Southern cali to pick up rims from body shops.

Three-spokers are cool. Even wacko ones, like Trial Zeldas.

Don't forget Primes, those are fresh to death.

As for their pricing, it seems about right for fixing a wheel, maybe a little high, but most places charge around $100 per wheel.

wheel techniques, i think theyre in santa clara but im not 100% sure. they do good work, my friend had a chunk missing from his lip and they made it look brand spankin new. id guess that its possible, actually im almost sure it can be fixed. google the shop its somewhere in the bay..

kinda hard to see. its the rear one....

regardless.....you can slap a big price tag on a piece of poop and does that make it look better?

just my opinion, but i think 3 spoke wheels (regardless of how JDM or expensive) are UGLY
