Wheel repair in Maryland/DC area?
I picked up a 370z from Tate Dodge in Glen Burnie yesterday for a really good deal due to cosmetic damage on all 4 wheels and a few scratches here and there. I searched the mid-atlantic forum looking for a wheel repair place but no particular shop was mentioned. Does anyone have experience with any shops in the local area? Some of the shops I've found on the internet include:
Ye Olde Wheel Shop Wheel Worx Rim Doctor Wheel Doctor AWRS Wheel Repair I am looking to get a set of factory 2009 19" sport wheels restored. The wheels look to be round but every one has a little curb rash and minor scratches. Here's what I'm looking for in the job: -dismount the tires from the wheels - check all 4 wheels for trueness, straightness, and runoff and fix if needed - repair the blemishes (including any wheel rash, bends if any, scratches, makrings etc...) - refinish the alloys in the factory color - clearcoat, buff, and make the wheels essentially new again - if possible mount and road force balance the tires back on the wheels Does anyone have any recommendations? |

start googling those shops. I did the first one and it came up with a bunch of other forums talking about some of the shops you listed. judging by just the few threads I read ye old wheel shop has poor customer service and takes a long time to fix the wheels. Also call them up and get some pricing estimates that will influence your final decision as well I would assume.
good luck to ya and where ever you do go def give us a review on the shop! |

Is it just me, but I find new sets of 19's on eBay all the time for a lot less than $800 to $1000, minus the tires.. I'd say at least take a look.
