Default Rim Repair (3 piece)...suggestions?
Can any one recommended a place in the bay area? I've got some Trafficstars that need to have the silicone between the barrel and lip repaired. Thanks!

Wheel Technique in Santa Clara does really good work, turnaround time might take a while tho

I believe I read something in the past saying memoryfab goes through wheel technique to get work done...I could be wrong but I know both places produce new looking wheels once they're done with them.

Riteway walnut creek repaired my wheels before. Would highly recommend, but costly.

Yeah wheel technique is pretty pricey and turn around isn't as fast, they make more money repairing OEM wheels for dealerships/accounts than walk in customers
