Default Baltimore/DC area members?

Does anyone know of a good shop in the Baltimore/DC area that I can get a curbed wheel fixed? Thanks in advance!

I had a friend who used these people a year ago and he was happy, wheelrefinisher.com. They are in LaPlata so I don't know how far that is for you.

I had a good experience with a company called Wicked Wheels. They have a mobile service that comes out to you. The contact is Trevor Battsford - 301.996.6963.

You may also want to try Eurobeat Wheel Refinish. He just refinished a set of BMW wheels for a friend of mine and they looked great. Google his email, you'll see some other folks that have used him.

the best one in the whole area and the oldest one (although they have all the new equipment as well) is in elkridge md, named ye old wheel shoppe.

i have heard only the best from their past customers and just took a set of badly dulled wheels with 2 solid curbed lips on a set of decent 19's with nice lips in the rear and i just saw them yesterday and they look like new. i had used wheel worx in the past and although they do a decent job this ye old wheel shoppe is on another level above them. i highly recommend and every time i go by there they seem to have customers. hope this helps. its also like 3 generations working there at any given time, seems to be a family run joint.

I have used these guys several times, they did great work on my ole Iforged. The have a shop in Annapolis, La Pata and in Montgomery County. Ye Ole Wheel Shoppe I heard was good but they charged more then Wheelrefinishers and had a waiting period when I went. Maybe cheaper and faster turn around time now.

i do agree that ye old wheel shop ( i think they used to be spelled shoppe but it looks like its just shop now ) does charge a little bit more than the rest, but sometimes you get what you pay for. i didn't notice any longer completion times than normal but maybe i hit them at a good time. i just wish i would have taken my last set of lowenhart chrome 20's up there, and i would never had sold them after that. i took them to another shop instead and really wasn't that pleased with the work after i paid a good amount of $$ so i ended up selling them, but i'd prolly still have them now had i gone to a better wheel shop in the first place. errrrggggg!
