YOWS-what was quoted at $150 for repair? Straightening + dismount + mount/balance? Sounds reasonable to me...

cool, called them up and they said 50-100 each which isnt too bad.. though the woman had an strong accent and sounded irritated at me just bc i asked her to repeat what she said..

anyone heard of wicked wheels over near gaithersburg/montgomery village? some other forum said they do good work too, but noone picked the phone up there

Dont go to YOWS anymore, that is Dan's mom (member on these forums) you just insulted and they will bend your wheels.

<---- is what that lady will do to you for saying that...just remember if someone recommends a shop in the mid-a its usually because they know someone who works there or know first hand they do good work

I have a friend of mine who does all the wheels for my work and he does a really nice job with them. i will ask him tomorrow how much he thinks it will cost to do (possibly as a side job) and re-post tomorrow.
