I recently ruined a wheel because of loose lug nuts. The lug holes are egged out now. Is there a place that I can have this repaired? Is it repairable? If not.... can I have the holes redrilled on a different index? If anyone knows a good shop for wheel repair.... please let me know.

What kind of wheel is it? Centerline or a cast wheel? I have had a Centerline or two hog the lug holes out. I had Romero's Custom Polishing & Wheel Straiting in El Cajon and U.S. Wheels in El Cajon fix my wheels. On the hogged out lug hole they were able to put some chromolly inserts in the wheel. I have not had any problems with them since.

If it's a cast rim- toss it and get another one. Don't even mess with it. Forged- you maybe able to do something with it. Centerline type rims can totally be fixed.

The Welding Shop in Rosamond, Ca can fix just about any problem with any wheel for about $50.00. I have seen him fix tacoed 20" many times. 661-256-1505 ask for Daryal Mauldin

its an american eagle wheel.... not sure how to tell if its cast or forged..... i'd toss it and get a new one if it didn't have a OMF beadlock on it.
