Default Wheel damage... :(

While down in Indy this weekend, I hit a pothole and the back tire jumped and hit the curb. Now I've got a "nice" gash in the rim portion of my right rear wheel.

Anyone know about this company? - AWRS Wheel repair

Territories: DuPage

John Newton | 630-927-5336

and/or

Glenn Stazak | 630-209-7597

dupage@awrswheelrepair.com

Website: www.awrswheelrepair.com/dupage

Any advice would be appreciated!

100% Brad,

Some old man ran into my brother's Dino's C6 Z and knicked up his rear rim and they just fixed his rim recently to his 100% satisfaction (and is SUPER **** about his cars).

He REALLY lucked out as the old man went through a stop sign at very low speed in River Forest, and this is the only damage Dino's Z suffered.

I've heard Wheels America does great work. Sorry about the damage to your car - and good luck getting it repaired.

Brad, that really sucks! I curbed one of my CCW wheels when I had the C5 and Wheels America does a nice job I would agree. They are not a fancy shop, but they did nice work and were pretty quick.
