I had 3piece Racing Hart M5's a few years ago and they repaired some curbage on the polished lip perfectly.

Just a warning, I've had horrbile experiences there.

They were supposed to weld a wheel for me after being cracked. Promised it within a week. I made a mistake by paying first, they ended up taking 2 and half weeks to fix it. After calling numerous times, and even going there they promised me time and time again it would be finished. Finally when it was supposed to be done and I went to go pick it up. Turns out they hadn't even mounted the tire back on, so i had to wait. On top of all this waiting and bs they did the worst weld job ever as as it burned the outer face of my wheel discoloring it. I just curbed my iforged and instead of going there I just sold the wheels, don't want to deal with them. Sucks they are one of two wheel shops in the bay. I would take your wheel to rite way wire and wheel in walnut creek. Great people, small shop so you know they take care of their customers. just my 2cents.

My 2 cents....

I loe WT's work! They have done 2 other set's of rims for me...(WORK VS-XX and VOLk GT-N's) Dayem Bay area roads and bent two wheels....

here's my thread from Honda-Tech I posted about my 3rd set they worked on for me....


So I picked up by fellow ATS-G brother's set of M7's a couple of weeks ago - The weren't clean but SH*T M7's! NO bends or warps, just had a lot of RASH on all the rims, rashed bolt holes and a few bolt caps where dented and scratched. Not the greatest shape but not bad for some 13+ year old rims....

























Really Bad Center Cap hole damage!









So I decided to get the lips all re-done and fixed. ROad rash was on ALL the rims and also get the face and cap fixed.

I wanted something differant but NOT CRAZY! So I decided on getting a simple polish only and have the bolts powder coated BLACK -

They had my wheels for 3 days and charged me $500 for the clean-up and polish. I gave them the wheels with tires mounted and they didn't charge me to re-mount anf balance them - Jeff is the person to talk to as he hooked it up!

Tell me what you think...good and/or constructive comments!

I love how they turned out! Orignally wanted me bolts to be red anodized but the paint was very thin and WT suggested I go black. I thought the red rivets and some red lug nuts would of looked great....but oh well....


Thanks for reading guys.....
