Wheelflip took about 2 months to fix 1 bent wheel. They also destroyed my tps, forgot to remount my tire, told me they can match the finish and then at the end couldn't, and i can still see the bend after the "repair".

fwiw, i asked for something similar to volk racing's formula silver, and i got spark silver...

i mean, it's relative, right? /OT

seouljahon, sorry to hear that your wheel got messed up in shipping. i thought wheelflip was local to you?

that sucks... I've seen good repairs, and you really have to inspect the wheel to find out where the bend is

I TOTALLY FEEL YOU SINCE I ASKED FOR FORMULA SILER COLOR FOR MY WHEELS AS WELL AND TURNS OUT TO BE SILVER

PLUS TOOK 3 MONTH TO REFINISH MY WHEEL. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

my rim is currently at wheelflip for the past two weeks when I was told it would take 3-7 days. Communication and updates from them has been terrible.

based on personal experience:

1. it'll probably take closer to four weeks, if not more.

2. don't expect much in terms of updates or communication - except when your wheels are done and ready to get picked up.

3. when you (eventually) get your wheels back, you might get exactly what you wanted, or you might get something (relatively) close. then there's the off chance you end up with something that's not close but you'll accept anyways because you've spent all this time waiting and don't want to wait any longer.

don't get me wrong; sam and alex @ wheelflip have been super helpful with my wheel needs. i've taken two sets of wheels to them, and currently they're trying to resuscitate a wheel that a different shop FUBAR'd. i'm just sharing my personal experience.
