Reputable Rim Repair Shop in Boston area
Why am I have so much bad luck with these new fockin' wheels. First I find a nail in the rear right tire then I get curb rash on the rear right lip and now I hit a damn pothole because it was filled with water from the rain and I bend my front right rim. I swear...I am so close to selling these fockin' things. Anyone want to purchase 19" SSR SP1 Professors w/ tires?
I definitely notice the ride is bumpier now with the bend in the front left rim. I need to bring it to someone who can bend it back and make it nice again. I used to know a place in Newton, but I forgot the name. And then there was a place in RI I believe that did a lot of BMWs and stuff. Can anyone recommend a reputable rim repair shop that can fix my bend. I'm really disgusted right now and I'm even contemplating selling my fockin' car. Let me know, thanks!

Just dealt with Rim Pro 2 weeks ago, there is no better around here. A+ for those guys.
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.

Long story short, the construction workers sawcut the pavement around each of the catch basins, one of which was literally sawcut 2 feet into the travel lane (past the white line) on the left/passing lane. No lie, it was a 1-1/2" - 2" deep pavement cut with a 90 degree pavement sawcut!!!.....really don't know how I was able to just get away with 2 warped rims...might be because of my high tire pressures (38 psi). There was 1 guy with a MB C class and no lie, he had a 90 degree dent/bend in his rim from the pavement....scary ****! I called MassHighway & got the contractors name & address & need to write a letter to them and copy the 2 MA highway offices & see where things go from there...totally their fault, and I know there had to have been many other flat tires after the ones I saw. Cannot believe they were dumb enough to leave the highway in that condition after the night work.

Just last week, I noticed another bend in my front left lip. I won't get that fixed until next Spring...and I'll take it to Rim Pro.

Yep, they did 2 of my G wheels, they look great. I beginning to learn though that MA roads are just too unforgiving to keep wheels in good condition.
