Rim repair & wheel
refinishing in
Parma, Ohio.
Don't Replace. Restore.
A specialty shop in Parma for curb rash repair, wheel painting, and custom color change finishes. Considered work, honest quotes.
Three disciplines. One standard of finish.
Curb Rash Repair — erased.
Scraped your rim on a curb? We sand down the damaged area, fill gouges with high-strength filler, and refinish the surface so the damage disappears completely. Most single-rim curb rash jobs are completed same-day or next-day. New OEM rims cost $400–$2,000 each — we restore yours for a fraction of that. Call for a free quote.
Call for quote02Wheel Painting & Refinishing — strip to bare.
We strip your wheel down to bare metal, repair any surface damage, then apply a fresh powder coat or wet paint finish. Choose factory-spec color matching or go custom. Powder coat is more durable and chip-resistant; wet paint allows finer color control. Either way, your rims come back looking brand new. Call for a free quote.
Call for quote03Color Change & Custom Finish — your color, our hands.
Want a new look? We offer gloss black, satin black, gunmetal, bronze, two-tone machined face, and other custom finishes for any make and model. Each wheel is stripped, prepped, primed, and finished by hand for a smooth, even result that lasts. Stand out from every car on the road. Call for a free quote.

American Rim Repair is a specialty wheel shop in Parma, Ohio, run by owner Charles Watson. Curb rash, peeling clear coat, corrosion, or a full color change — every rim that comes through the shop is prepped, primed, and finished by hand, not pushed through a production line.
The workshop rule is simple: a wheel leaves indistinguishable from the day it was pressed, or it does not leave. That means no shortcuts, no rushed jobs, and an honest written quote before any work begins. It is the kind of considered work that has earned the shop its reputation across Greater Cleveland.
Restore the wheel. Keep the money.
Replacing a scuffed or corroded rim means paying full price for a brand-new wheel when the one on your car can be brought back to like-new condition. For most cars, repair is the smarter call — on cost, on time, and on what it keeps out of the landfill.
A fraction of new
A single new OEM wheel runs $400 to $2,000, and a dealer rarely sells just one — order a matching set and the bill climbs fast. Refinishing the wheels you already own restores them to factory condition for a fraction of that, with no waiting on back-ordered parts.
Less waste
Every wheel we restore is one that stays out of the scrapyard. Cast aluminum and alloy rims take an enormous amount of energy to produce and ship; repairing the original keeps that material in service and the waste out of the landfill.
Just as strong
A properly repaired wheel is every bit as strong and true as a replacement. We straighten, fill, and refinish to spec, then balance before the wheel goes back on — so the only thing you notice is that the damage is gone.
Four steps, one wheel at a time.
