Wheel Repair in Boston

Any suggestions for a good wheel repair place in Boston? And any ideas on price? Will it be hard to match the color on the OEM 19's?

Has anyone had any experience with Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists?

is it bent or scratch?

go here they do good work. even if you bring your rims to any local shop to fix. THEY WILL bring it to RIM & WHEELs anyways to do the work.

^+1 agreed Rim and Wheel Work in Newton are good people. I had them do my C4's a while back and they even powdercoated them bronze for me.

the seller lied about the condition they were in... he said that only one wheel had light scratches, and the other 3 were perfect. in reality, three are curbed and only one is mint.

I'll deal with him via my credit card company, but I wanted to refinish the three curbed wheels in the meantime. At those prices, though, it's not worth it. I might as well sell these and pick up a set of take-offs from the dealer. Or a nice set of aftermarkets...

Arcady, what kind of rims are they? The OEM 19"s or something else?

I think he said they were OEM 19's. Hey Brian did you get your car back yet?

yea, they're the OEM 19's... for the price of refinishing, I'm saying forget it. I found a set of dealer take-offs for a good price, so I'm gonna pick those up. I'll try to sell these ones for what I paid for them...
