Ok so here's the deal, i was in the U-district a few nights ago and i smashed over a pothole the size of Michigan and now my rear right rim wobbles really bad. I'm pissed, but i need a good shop to go to get it straightened, I heard this can be done for forged alum. rims am i right? i sure hope so, I want it to be good by golden gardens!

any shops you guys know of in the seattle area?

 

I'd say it depends on the specific damage. It's a definite possibility that it can't be fixed, in which case you'd have to buy a new wheel or at least the barrel (if yours is a multipiece). It's one of the few advantages of a cast wheel vs. forged. I'd take it to Foster's in Ballard or Dependable Wheel Repair in Renton to get a professional opinion. Also, just because they can do it, doesn't necessarily mean it will be as strong (and safe) as it should be.

 

Foster's closed a few months back, take it to dependable

 

steve's wheels next to park place motors in Bellvue, when my g.f. curbed my ro_ja's he fixd them and then when I ran over a curb (kinda) he re-rounded them. great guy

 

yea I went down to dependable on friday and the guy said 105 and he could def starighten no problem. but they are closed sunday and monday! haha

i wanted to see if there were any other places, an i really hop that this is fixable, il be pissed! maybe i just shouldnt drive my car

 

Were you driving on 15th? There's a huge pothole on 15th near the bookstore in a place where it's really difficult to avoid.

 

$105 sounds very reasonable for a forged wheel. Go get it done before GG!

I want to take some pics parked next to other G's with noticeable exterior mods.
