Vancouver Wheel Repair?
Hi, I recently bought a set of P45R's off a fellow Revscene member awhile back and recently had my tires mounted on them at the speed syndicate. Upon doing so the guy at ss informed me that there was a decent flat spot on one rim that I bought. He said it would cause some good wheel wobble / shaking past 80km/h. Obviously a bit saddened and ticked off but life goes on, does anyone know any place in the Vancouver/Burnaby area that fix's flat spots on rims for a decent price? The guys at SS told me they knew people that could do it for $120+. Just thought I would post here to see if there were any more places with any other prices. Thanks in advanced everyone.

Panther? Vancouver Wheel Repair and Refinishing Specialists - Panther Precision Machine

Seriously though? $120 to fix a Rota?
Just buy a replacement wheel if you have to

Send it to the guys Speed Syndicate recommended (I think Nubrite?)

Ask Alex, Kevin or Curtis why and they will tell you.
