Default New Wheel Repair Place

Just got my wheel back from the shop and they did an excellent job for $75. The place is in Walnut Creek if anyone is interested. They trimmed the damaged area and re-polished the outer wheel. I'll see if I can post a picture or two.

I have also updated the Eastbay Shop Directory.

Very nice. I want to see it in person. Is there a way that I can see the finished portion in person?

yeah, before pics would help... but they look AWESOME now

If someone buys my ADR's, and takes them here... it'd be a hell of a deal!

Sure

When and where? I have some time tomorrow and can meet you half way. You are in Sac right?

Also, sorry no before pictures because I wanted to cry everytime I saw the damage! It was chewed up pretty bad along the edge of the wheel about 8" in length.

I get off work at about 11am on both those days but I start 3am so driving out your way would cut into my nap time. If you could make your way into Oakland, we could meet? or I guess you could what until the Yosemite trip if you're going.

No I wasn't going since the meet's late in the evening. I've been on vacation all week and need to get some rest before going back to work. I've got a weeks worth of work to catch up on.

I know of a shop in Sacramento that does excellent work, also. He did a similar repair job for $65. He is also the one who polished my Ray's wheels.
