rim straightening???
I was wondering where people get their rims straightened after the wonderful city of boston does not fill there potholes and drivers like me fill them with my rim and tire. Any help is appreciated.

I've always used RIm and Wheelworks in Newton.

Ask for Ina or Mary.

Rimpro is the best shop in the area.
I've delt with both Rim and wheel works and Rimpro.
Rimpro hands down is a better shop.

Rim and Wheel is crap they use heat instead of
specialized machines that straighten the rim by pressure. Rimpro is the only one in the area that uses this technique.

there is also
Wheel Craft in CT 203-284-9191 I've never used them. I have used Wheels America for two 18" wheels, the butchered one and the other came out "within spec".

I'll second Rimpro as the best shop in the area
They did an unbelievable job on a curb mangled style 19 that I had them fix. It looked like a new factory rim, now I want to have the other 3 re-done as well.

Only one machine on the market straightens w/o
heat and it actually REMOVES metal from the wheel.

Well that's a great comfort to me. Isn't this a
great country where anyone can grow up to be a "prodigy."
