Default any places in MD that fixed bent wheels?

Hi guys, I just found a inner side wheel bent on my 19 axis supermesh that I have bought used recently. it's not that severe, so it is DEFINATELY fixable, and I was wondering if there were any affordable wheel fixing places that does a decent job in MD?
let me know guys
thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
John.

I have heard very good things about a place called "Ye Ole Wheel Shop"

7281 Washington Blvd
Elkridge, MD

Good luck. Those are beautiful wheels.

Be aware that when they "fix" it, much of the structural integrity of the cast wheel will be lost and will be quite vulnerable to future "bending".

That doesn't sound too unreasonable. It's not like they're going to hit it with a hammer a few times and call it good. They probably have very specialized equipment to re-round and verify a rim, and that $150 might include paint/re-finishing as well. In any case, if the bend is mild enough and doesn't require paint work, yeah, they might lower their quote. I guess you'll just have to see. Good luck.

BTW, what have other shops quoted for the same work? I guess that's the true test of whether $150 is expensive or not.

Ye old wheel shop is 3 weeks behind for a reason. They do good quality work so alot of people take their wheels there. When I was looking to get a wheel repaired, I went to all the places that sell wheels. Most stores that sell wheels don't repair wheels. They just recommended Ye Old. You should go take a look at their shop and some of the work they do.


PS- you can haggle a little bit there also
