+1 for Rite Way Wheels in Walnut Creek

my wheels were about 3 days old and i decided to send them out to get the lips mirror polished. I chose Rite Way Wheels in Walnut Creek because i have heard many good things about their work, and they help us at the shop get wheels repaired if we damage any, and in return we always help him mount tires. i didnt know what to expect when i sent the wheels out, but when i got them back today i was impressed with the job! pictures do not do justice as to how shiny and blingin' the lips are. i highly reccomend these guys if any of you need your wheels repaired, powercoated etc etc.


wheels in the shade...meh nothing to crazy


wheels in the sun...BLINGIN!!!!you can see in the background how the lip on the wheel originally looked


on the car



will have a photoshoot soon of the wheels

^crap, serious? That's really good. Were you repairing a rim or just refinishing it? I was going to go to Wheel Techniques because they're more local to me, but I was not looking forward to wait times.

How are the prices at Rite Way?

pretty bad curb rash on one wheel.


btw, i'd reconsider bringing your wheels to wheel techniques....i've heard some horror stories on the is board. do a search.

I've been to Wheel Techniques a couple times before and yea I definitely know what you mean. The work they did on the repair was good but it ended up taking a lot longer then they initially said it would and they ended up scratching another part of the rim in the process.

I was considering going to Wheels America also, since it was a tad closer then Rite Way, but after all the feedback I think I'll give them a shot. I especially love the same day turn around, freakin awesome.

Pricing though??

+10000000 for Jose at Riteway.

I had all four rims bent from Hwy 24 construction.
He went out of his way to help me get reimbursed from the state.
