Anyone know a good place to straighten 18" wheels? I am being quoted like 120/wheel and wondering if anyone has any experience with places in Boston.

Thanks

I don't have any personal experience with them, however I've heard nothing but good things about Rim Pro in Tewksbury: http://www.rimpro.com/index.html

Yea - I hear rip pro is good too. They are one of the most expensive though. I think I will be going to this place http://www.rimandwheelworks.com/

I cant believe I bent 3 of my 18" Titanium edition wheels. Just goes to show you that alloy wheels are garbage. Either get forged wheels or stick to 16". Sucks but it is what it is.

Anyone have experience with how "repaired" wheels hold up over time?

^^I've heard that wheelworks are a reputable shop as well.

Up state NY is pretty bad too lol. Im driving down a road and it all of a suden turns to dirt and a mile down it turns to ripped up bolders and no way to turn around not cool. And when they repair the road it they juist pave the 2 ruts that everyone drives down and not the entire street.

Roads in Boston are usually fine....until you hit a pothole the size of Jessica Simpson

We don't all go by the nickname: "The Cheeseman" lol

I drive by http://www.wheel-repair-specialist.com/ on Route 1 in Peabody all the time.

Route 1 South of the Route 60 junction in Revere was repaved probably 6-8months ago and is actually one of the more fun places to open it up around boston. Its relatively winding and not many 5-0

Go to D force wheels (TOM) he use to own rim pro but is in the same location one building over. Tell him Mike L'Italien sent you and ask him about his forged wheels they will be making in house very soon.

Just had him send my grids off to get drilled out to 5x112 and total with having them shipped to CA and back and work being done he charged me $420 total.

$120/wheel is average price for wheel straightening. $200/wheel is average for straightening & refinishing. , Rim pro is awesome. I, along with a few people i know have had great experience with them. I have also used wheel repair specialists on Route 1 south. They are also good.

also, use the regional section next time.

had my 19s straightened and refinished from RIM PRO. they did a pretty good job.

Moved.

Wheel repair specialist did mine I had it for over a month now and it's holding up great it was 120 the only thing is they were pretty backed up so it almost took a month to get it back... they do great work though
