Anyone had one of their wheels repaired? Post company name and info please.

My wife was ran into a curb today by a jerk in a Caprice.....of course he didnt stop! Curbed the rear passenger wheel pretty good. Anyone know a good repair shop or got one for sale reasonable?

Thanks!

I had the same thing happen, contacted Wheels America (they have a web site). I shipped them the rear wheel and had it back in perfect condition, one could not tell it was done over at all. They have a one price to repair, with shipping it cost $155.71. Total time was about a week. Super job. They have shops around the country, take a look at their home page. Hope this helps.

thanks a ton guys. I searched on google earlier today....but there were a lot of shops. These wheels only have like 1000 miles on them....so i figured there would be some testimonials on shops here. I am worried about the gloss being the same.

so with Wheels America there is no need to have the wheel dismounted?

Nope, not only that, but they'll balance them too! They faxed me a UPS call tag, picked them up, had them in house ONE DAY and shipped them right back. The finish is absolutely perfect. I thought I was out about $3K, and I ended up being out less than $300. I only had 187 miles on them when it happened, and I was blind with rage and uber pissed. Now I could not possibly be any happier or more satisfied with their service.

Good luck!
