Default Houston members, need a GOOD rim/wheel repair

My FNO1's have a small crack in a weld were they were fixed by the previous owner and a couple very small bends, but looking for a local shop that can do it right, with warranty and not charge me the cost of a new wheel, which I cant get anyway cause the size/offset I have is discontinued.

I have been looking at Rollo's Solutions, and already sent the info and pics for a quote. But have also found Wheels America. Problem is, I cant find much feedback on either.

So if anyone knows a place that can straighten and fix my wheels for a good price, let me know please. Would prefer local shops in the Houston area.

SABS and nowhere else. Ive had 2 of my old wheels repaired by small wheel and tire shops for about $100, but they ended up cracking again. Another wheel was repaired at SABS and it held up much longer and hasnt cracked. Sabs charges about $150 I believe.

Rollos suck. SABS is the way to go

SABS did great work for me, just kept lying when they'd be done (promised 3 days, took 10 with every day saying "they'll be done tomorrow..")

Turbo,

Don't know if you have done anything or not yet, but I just saw this post and have some feedback regarding Wheels America.

They "refinished" (no cracks) all for of my GS300 wheels back in 2004 and I believe they proved some kind of lifetime wtty on their work.

They were excellent to work with and the wheels looked new for many subsequent years; I just traded it in two months ago.

Jim
