Does anybody know the times of operation for ye old wheel shop?

I tried calling today around 4:30pm, but nobody picked up, and I tried both numbers a couple of times.

Might be stretching it here, but anybody know how much they charge? I know they charge by the hour.
I have a small dent and small crack on a rear rim that would need to be straightened out and the crack welded.

Hey bro -

They should be a 9-5 type shop. I just got a set of 3-piece wheels re-done there....I had them re-polish the lips and fix a pretty nasty gash in one. I couldn't even tell where they had fixed it - nor which wheel it was. They looked awesome!!

I think the cost for each wheel/tire is about $123 a piece. That included the dismount, mounting and balancing......I'd recommend just handing over a rim - you'll save yourself a couple of bucks.

Talk with Daniel - he's pretty cool. Good luck!

Karl

I'm thinking of taking mine to them to get repolished. I've heard nothing but good things, so I will end up doing it eventually.

I'm heading down there today to get a price quote, hopefully it is reasonable in my situation.
I'll report it later.

$95(straightening)+$25(welding)+$25(remount/balance)=$145
That is a 3-week wait.

But for an extra $50, they can be done in 3 days.

Seems good, right?
