Repair Curb scraped wheels???

[Rain]

Had read before where someone was wanting to replace 2 wheels due to curb damage. A reply said that this was repairable for less $ than replacement.

When asked why, who, where, etc.. there was no further info.

Anyone have that info?

Thanks

I cant think of any names but if you look in the back of some car mags,mostlyAutoweek,motortrend,and Car and driver,they have some companies that do this.There are also local companies that do it too.Check with your local tire dealer.

Will do that. Had never considered it cheaper to repair this than to replace them with used from a yard.

Thanks

-----------
"It's Five O Clock Somewhere," Jimmy's new duet with Alan Jackson, will appear on Alan Jackson's new Greatest Hits album later this summer, and was released to radio this week as a single. It will almost certainly hit the Country charts next week (it was the #1 most requested song on my local country station as of tonight) and cross over to the overall Hot 100 chart (Radio and Records magazine web site forum suggests it's likely to be Jimmy's first #1 song, as it's likely to top the country charts). I heard the song tonight and almost went in to shock hearing Jimmy's voice on a mainstream radio station on a new song. Alan sings about the first 3/4 of the song, then asks the musical question "I wonder what Jimmy Buffett would think of all this? hey, here he is!" (or words something to that effect), and then Jimmy sings the last verse (pretty much recapitulating the same lyrics that Jackson sang), and then Jimmy does the "spoken word" outro about having seen Alan drinking in his Margaritaville Cafes (or words something to that effect). It's a drinking song. I've found no word about whether there will be a video.

Pasted below is some info from Alan Jackson's web site, where one can apparently hear an audio clip of the song.

Superstars Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett Team Up For Summer Duet Shipping To Radio Today! Jackson's New Single To Be Included On Hits Collection Due Out Late August Or Early September

Nashville, TN - Following Alan Jackson's two recent Academy of Country Music Awards wins and the RIAA's Quadruple Platinum (4,000,000 units) certification of his Drive album, the reigning Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year delivers his new single, "It's Five O'clock Somewhere," today. Recorded with friend Jimmy Buffett at Shrimp Studio in Key West last month, Jackson's sure-to-be summer anthem is one of two new tracks included on his yet-to-be-titled Arista Nashville greatest hits disc, slated for release in late August or early September.

Produced by Keith Stegall and written by Jim "Moose" Brown and Don Rollins, "It's Five O'clock Somewhere" blends the humor and laid-back styles of both artists.

Thats the one.I heard it this morning while block sanding a fender.I also thought it was awsome to hear Jimmy on the main streem radio station.I have a feeling this song is going to be huge.I hope they dont wear it out like they do other songs sometimes.

HAHA < you know they will. If Alan and Jimmy's people have anything to do with it, which they do!, its gona be run in the ground!
They want it played as much as it can be played. (payola to the radio stations plus the fact that Alan is such a huge award winning star plus the fact that Buffett's following will buy ANYTHING he touches..... ensures success of the song)

But alas, Its going to be one that I know we will all get sick of hearing after it hits heavy rotation. (1 or more times an hour ) hahaha

Thanks for mentioning it though!
