^Theres a few wheel repair places in the city Will, but if you want to get the wheels back in great shape just wait till the season is over and send them out. Theres a few places, one in Maryland that repairs the wheels for 85.00 a rim and they do a good job. I'll look up the information for you and send it to you

Rimpro = A+++
Rim/wheelworks... meh
They redid an alloy for me, and new paint peeled off. They redid it for free tho. Very little work is done in house, no idea what shady deal that guy was giving out there lol
But yeah their techs gave out that vibe to me too. Sad to see them pull that on a nice mom and pop family biz they got.

$320 in total to re-true 2 of my rims...but they make you sign a waiver that you won't hold them responsible if the rim cracks, because sometimes (not often) a rim will crack due to this process...that blows...do I even want to risk it?!!?
Has anyone had rims re-trued before?

www.rimpro.com See if you can go through a shop that uses them regularly....they offer awesome pricing to shops (upwards of $50/wheel off).
Regular finish is $170/rim. Chrome is $275/rim. 2-3 piece wheels are varied. Also depends on damage, etc. I'm not sure how much it is just to get a wheel straightened....that's just for refinishing.

looks like alot of us are having bad luck with bent wheels.
Maybe we can negotiate a group discount if we all bring our wheels to Rim Pro?
I got (2) 19" x 9.5 that needed to be straighten and possibly 2 refinish.
Anyone else?
